Honestly so far I’ve just been scanning high-res with my Epson scanner and tweaking in Photoshop adjustments like curves, levels, and using tools like selective erasing/dodging/burning to get the result I want. But I have yet to scan a completed painting in such a way that it looks excellent— I have better luck scanning layers and playing with them digitally. It’s a frustrating process but I think due to the way scanners don’t reflect light the way you see it in real life, pieces never look quite as good scanned. Maybe better photographed, I’d wager?
