HP office jet pro 8130e scans to my Mac Pro iPad very bright. I am scanning watercolor paintings that I painted.

Welcome to the HP Community --

 Perhaps try adjusting the color and intensity of the Image after scanning and before saving the image to file.

The example illustrates having selected a PDF type scan --

With the appropriate changes to the Preset type, Edit > edit options also apply to Scanning as an image.

After you Scan > Select to Edit > Select the Adjust option

Example - HP Smart - Mobile (iOS / iPadOS) - Scan options

HP_Smart_Mobile_Printer-Scan_Option_Sets_4
