Why Scanning is Better Than Photographing Artwork

When it comes to digitizing artwork, the choice between scanning and photographing can significantly impact the quality of the final product. Here’s why scanning stands out as the superior method:

Precision and Detail

Our advanced scanning technology captures every minute detail of your artwork. Unlike traditional photography, which can sometimes lose subtle nuances, scanning ensures that every brushstroke, texture, and color variation is accurately reproduced. This precision is crucial for fine art scanning, where maintaining the integrity of the original piece is paramount.

True-to-Life Color Reproduction

One of the biggest challenges in photographing artwork is achieving accurate color reproduction. Lighting conditions, camera settings, and even the angle of the shot can alter the colors in the final image. Scanning eliminates these variables, providing consistent and true-to-life color results every time.

High-Resolution Master Files

The master files we create through our scanning process are of exceptionally high resolution, making them perfect for various applications. Artists often use these files to produce reproduction prints, ensuring that each edition retains the quality and detail of the original. These high-resolution files are also ideal for archiving, preserving the artwork digitally for future use.

Applications of Our Scanning Services

Our clients use the master files we create for a variety of applications, far beyond just fine art reproduction prints. Here are some of the innovative ways our high-resolution scans are utilized:

Reproduction Prints

Creating editions of original artworks is a common use of our scanning services. Artists can produce high-quality prints that are nearly indistinguishable from the original, allowing them to sell multiple copies while keeping the original piece.

Archiving

Before selling an original piece to a collector, many artists choose to create a master file. This digital archive preserves the artwork, allowing artists to revisit or reproduce their work even after the original has changed hands.

Custom Products

The versatility of our scanning technology enables us to cater to a diverse range of industries. Our clients have used our scans to create custom wall coverings, textiles, and even wood flooring samples. For instance, a wood flooring company we work with sends us their samples for scanning. The high-resolution scans allow potential customers to zoom in on their website, providing a detailed view that closely resembles the real product.

Texture Capture

Our scanning capabilities extend to capturing the true texture of whatever we scan. Whether it's a piece of fabric or a textured artwork, our technology ensures that every fiber and detail is visible. This level of detail is essential for applications where texture plays a critical role in the overall aesthetic.
