Is there a way to scan a piece of paper - whether it's plain copy paper, cardstock, or the brightest it is, to be the same color when it's scanned?
For example, I draw images and like to make greeting cards, logos, etc. out of them. The problem is though is that after I have scanned the paper itself with the drawing, the image has a grayish background. In order for me to get rid of it, I have to brighten the image itself, but, that takes away from the original color of the design.
I use colored pencils to create the designs, by the way. I don't know if that matters.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I would really appreciate it!
Thanks!
