Credit: Claire Gillo<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>With those long winter months in sight and the weather miserable and cold more often than not, now is the time to hibernate indoors. In the winter season a great project to immerse yourself in is scanner art. Producing a photographic image without the use of a camera is a creative and fun thing to do. It requires a little bit of patience and consideration in the initial set-up and ideas stage, but once these are in place it\u2019s plain sailing from then on.<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing a scanner for scanner art<\/h3>\n<p>It goes without saying but to try this at home you will need a computer and a flatbed scanner. It doesn\u2019t have to be an expensive scanner to get good results. We\u2019ve tried this technique on a variety of models, and price doesn\u2019t really come into it. Each scanner produces results in its own unique way. If you have access to a few scanners take some time to experiment and see which one gives you the result you prefer.<\/p>\n<p>There are many subjects that lend themselves to scanner art. Flowers are one of the most obvious, and these are definitely the most scanned subject amongst the scanner-art community. There are a number of ideas to try in order to break away from the norm, such as hands and feet, natural objects like animal skulls and skeleton bones, and even food can look effective, although you don\u2019t want your scanner to get too messy. There really is no limit to your creativity and imagination.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_132528&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 440px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132528\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-hand.jpg\" alt=\"scanner art hand\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-hand.jpg 420w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-hand.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-hand.jpg?resize=267,400 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Get experimental in your approach. Movement can work well with body parts like hands and feet. Credit: Claire Gillo<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h3>Scanner resolution<\/h3>\n<p>The main thing to take into account when scanning your subject is the resolution size. Depending on how much detail you want your scanner to pick up will determine what setting you opt for. You don\u2019t have to go big, as the higher the resolution the longer it will take to scan. If your computer is not the fastest it can be extremely frustrating processing your image at the editing stage if your image is too large. The higher the resolution the more detail you\u2019ll be able to see, but your decision should also take into account the size of your object your scanning. If it\u2019s something small and you want to enlarge it, you\u2019ll need to select a larger resolution.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution is determined by the dots per inch (dpi) setting on your scanner. It has a range from 50-12,800. We recommend you start with a resolution around 600dpi and increase or reduce accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>Before you begin you need to take into account whether you want to scan in colour or black &amp; white (grayscale) and at what bit Color or bit Grayscale setting. On our scanner we have a 24-bit Color setting and 48-bit. The grayscale comes in 8-bit Grayscale and 16-bit. Bits are all about the amount of colours or black &amp; white tones in your scan, and as you can imagine, the higher the number on the setting the more colours or range of tone you have. It\u2019s important to note the bit setting has nothing to do with the resolution. Your screen displays at 24-bit, and a JPEG file does too as it compresses the image to this amount. Really the Bit aspect only starts to matter when you want to print an image at a very large size or if you make a lot of image edits where you\u2019re pushing and pulling the pixels around. If this is the case scan at 48-bit (16-bit Grayscale) and save as a TIFF file. However for our scanner art we used the lower-quality settings and saved out as JPEG, which was good enough for our needs.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_132526&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 440px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132526\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-cameras.jpg\" alt=\"scanner art cameras\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-cameras.jpg 420w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-cameras.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-cameras.jpg?resize=267,400 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: Claire Gillo<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Scanner art top tips<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Pixels per inch (ppi)<\/strong> This is the resolution screen on the computer. Dots per inch (dpi) is what your image will print out at. The scanner setting for resolution is set to dpi on the Epson scanners.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch your scanner\u2019s setting<\/strong> Use the professional mode as you have the most control over the final outcome.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep the liquids away!<\/strong> Try to get as little moisture on your scanner as possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep your scanner clean<\/strong> In between scans spray some glass cleaner onto a cloth and wipe over the flatbed. This will do the trick.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Do a preview and build your image<\/strong> When starting out it can be tricky to know what might work, so build up your scene slowly and gradually. Sometimes less is more. More simplistic set-ups can often be more effective than throwing in everything at once.<\/li>\n<li><strong>You can always scan individual objects<\/strong> Scan objects one at a time and create a montage using Photoshop. Repeating patterns and objects can look effective.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Scanner set-up<\/strong> We placed ours underneath a dark office table, so even without the lid down the background was dark. If you want to use different coloured backgrounds get some card and lay over the back.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For a creative result<\/strong> Try moving your hand or object as it scans. Remember not to look at the light as it can damage your eyesight.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Step-by-step scanner art guide<\/h3>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_132531&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132531\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-software.jpg\" alt=\"scanner art software\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-software.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-software.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-software.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art-software.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: Claire Gillo<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p><strong>1.

After bike-packing the length of France in her teens with her family, she started to undertake solo adventures in her 20s. Always a keen swimmer, she discovered a love of wild water 15 years ago, and has since swum the Dart 10k three times, qualified as a swim coach and learned to freedive. She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/11\/scanner-art.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 14:04:00","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132520"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":132566,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132520\/revisions\/132566"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132520"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=132520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
