1)First off, my gallery is NFS, I've never sold a
cel.
2)As everyone notes, scanners have issues, color
balance, contrast, etc.
3)It's a gallery so uniform presentation is a
consideration, think white bakcgrounds rather
than gray, borders, sizing of images, etc.
4)I have a graphic design degree and photoshop,
and I'm not afraid to use them. Seriously though,
I don't subscribe to "fine art" notions of
collecting. The very fact that cels aren't
constructed using archival materials would make
most fine art types cringe. So I have no issues
making corrections to some artifacts like
removing those rainbow-esqe spots and removing
dust clouding.
*)And as everyone notes should a sale occur(not
that it will) the above do not apply and raw scan
should be used. |
