Q: What type of scanner should I use? A: Ideally, a flatbed scanner with a CCD sensor and a LED light source. Automatic document feeders are meant for scanning text and will give you terrible results. CIS sensors are weak at color reproduction while CCFL scanners are slow with inconsistent levels of brightness.
Q: I have a scanner but I'm a complete beginner. How do I scan? A: Try the basic way of scanning first.
Q: Do I need to adjust my monitor before scanning? A: At least the very least, set your monitor's color temperature to 6500k. Low gamma/contrast will also help to visualize noises.
Q: What filters should I use while processing scans? A: Greycstoration is the primary filter for scans. Gaussian blur, selective Gaussian blur, surface blur, NeatImage, Noiseware, NoiseNinja, UnsharpMask2 are secondary.
Q: Why are my results overfiltered? A: Try fine-tuning your results with a luminance mask, or lowering the strength settings of your filters.
Q: How do I fix the weird colors on my scans? A: Familiarize yourself with color histograms, color management, and other related matters first. Then you can manually adjust colors with tonecurves, comparing scans to digital cgs painted by the same artist you scanned. The basic color adjusting method without comparison is found on here.
Q: Can I use a same process for any scans? A: No. It will always change depending on the type of screening and paper.
