/p/ i need help getting the best quality scan of a napoleon dynamite poster possible. its a standard poster size and all i have is a Canon sd1000 camera and a Canon MF5550 laser printer/scanner. I'm going to photoshop it and have the modified one printed.

I'm guessing the camera would provide a better quality image but still not spectacular. I asked at kinkos but they said they wouldn't scan copyrighted work... whats the best way of getting this glossy poster into my comp for photoshoping? My house doesnt have the best of lighting... what kind is best for this kind of thing? Florescent? Putting something in the way of a light for indirect light? halp!

Make several scans and paste them together manually or with Hugin.

Scanning would hardly be ideal. Scan quality isnt amazing as is

Yeah, scanners are not made for digitalizing two dimensional printed information, point and shoot cameras are.

I think you got that the wrong way around. scanners ARE made for digitalizing two dimensional printed information, point and shoot cameras are NOT.

Scan quality on my scanner isnt good. What arguments do you present to refute that aside from broad generalizations about scanners vs cameras?

Ok then.

Where did I say I was going to have them print it? I found a web based site that will print posters in all kinds of formats - they are not local.

Dumbass.

You realise that they will have much the same rules too? It's basic ethics and a way to avoid legal issues for these people.

A very bad scanner from mid 90s does 300dpi, which means about 9 Mpx per A4 area. If the fucking poster is A2 size, you get a fucking 36 Mpx image of it.

Now try to do that with a shitty SD1000, adding perspective distortion, lens/chromatic aberration, uneven lighting and your shaky hand holding it.

Scanner wins.

They won't be printing the original, only my photoshoped version. It won't be in large numbers for resale either. This would fall under fair use.

What the hell is wrong with you? What's with the hostile attitude and insults when all I said was one comment to try and help?

Sheesh. You're quite a moron, aren't you? I'm guessing they must have an internet connection at the "special school" for people of your calibre to get on the internet. Do you insult and swear at every person you talk to or just the ones trying to help you?

They'll still refuse when they see a copyrighted work with slight alterations. Even one copy will be refused, just like that shop that told you to GTFO.

Helping? How are you helping with short sighted and uninformed comments on situations you clearly dont understand?

Oh sorry, I missed that brilliantly informative post in this thread so far by the wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful special school attendees.

GTFO my thread.

I see now that you really do have a subnormal IQ. I really do pity you. Perhaps one day you'll be capable of interacting in society if you get enough therapy. Of course that won't happen until you can stem that extreme arrogance and over-inflated sense of self worth. Feel free to rage some more and cry about no one giving you the answer you want to hear.

Maybe those big bad people at Kinkos will change their mind if you rant or cry at them too?

PROTIP: you don't get to decide who posts in a thread, nigga. especially when you are shitting in the place and acting like a faggot already.
