Photoshop :: Editing A Scanned Image
Apr 27, 2009
So I'm currently an Art Major in school, and I've been studying examples from the Art Nouveau era. I've been sketching out symmetrical designs, scanning them and mirroring them on Photoshop.
All has gone well so far, however, I'm now trying to figure out how to clean it up and make it look "perfect". In terms of being perfect, I want it to look completely clean. I darkened the lines as much as I could and erased as much as I could, however, I've tried different things such as blurring, sharpening, and adjusting levels, but the lines still seem too jagged from the sketching. I'm wanting to smooth them out and make them look nice.
Here is my drawing:
and here is an example of what I would like it to look like(minus the completely filled in black part)
You see how crisp it is? No jagged edges, completely smooth and clean. This is what I want.
So does anyone know of any ways to get to this result?

Basically, I have drawn a logo on paper and I have scanned it in 1600 dpi, so it is a fairly big and detailed image, im just wandering how to go about making into an accurate drawn logo without using a tablet, a quick and easy way with a good outcome.

I'd like to Edit a document that's being scanned from a scanner (Epson cx5000 all in one printer)
More specifically i want to edit the text on the document. I know about OCR software and how it will convert the image into editable text in like MS word and what not, but that's not really what i need to do.
i need the document text to look exactly the same after the edit as it does from the scan, if you know what i mean.
I'm editing a certification. I lost my OC cert (oleoresin capsicum, commonly referred to as "Pepper Spray." you only need to be sprayed with it once in your life (so long as you have the cert); and I'm absolutely not about to get sprayed again, as I'd probably rather shoot myself in the leg.
I have another person's cert that i can scan, i just need to change the date and name on the cert.
I'm not having much luck getting the edited version too look right though. The text looks too sharp compared to the other text; matching fonts is proving tricky, and when printed off, the area that's edited looks "whiter" than the areas not edited.

I am attempting to edit a scanned abstract drawing where many of the colors are similar, resulting in them printing as all the same shade of red. I am attempting to change some of the reds to have a greater degree of shading. I am aware that I can probably do this using masks and RGB tweaking; but it occurred to me that I can also use a drawn shape and color fill with transparency to change the shade. This worked very well; but it caused one problem I don't know how to solve.
The image I am editing is intended to be uploaded to a website named Zazzle that takes your artwork and puts it on their products. This includes anything from notecards to canvases, to clothing, to shoes, etc., etc. Customers browse the site to find products and images they like. I also have a free webpage on the site where I can promote the sale of these items with my artwork on them.
The image must be a high resolution preferably png file which can be resized greatly for the canvases or left as is for notecards and the like.
While experimenting with the size of my image, I discovered that the edits I performed stay the same size while the rest of the image increases. Is it possible to make the edited shapes part of the scanned image so they will increase and decrease with the rest of the image?

I scanned a black and white image and have been trying to touch it up, smooth the edges basically.
It is a kanji character, basically four asymmetrical shapes, but the edges have become very jagged.

I've scanned in an image of a drawing that I did on tracing paper with a black ink pen. When the image comes through onto my screen there are some white areas that are 'shaded' a 'dirty' brown colour. I could go through and try and erase all the shading but that would take ages and it's not very efficient.

I am restoring a very old photograph with all the familiar Photoshop tools (Healing Brush, Clone Stamp, Curves, and Noise Reduction). My image restoration has one need that I am not familiar with. The photograph was scanned from a textured print, which appears as a bas relief (like a canvas). I would like to remove this texture to help remove the noise and sharpen the photo. Please let me know any techniques for removing this moir?

I am having trouble trying to find a way to take a scanned line art picture and smooth out the lines in photoshop. The original artwork was done on paper with a black marker. The lines are pretty ruff though. I want to smooth out all the lines without using the pen tool to path out all the lines and refill.

I am using Photoshop CS2 and Image Ready CS2. I have my signature scanned into a JPG file, and I have a form that requires my signature also in JPG format. I want to be able to paste the image of my signature into this form, but I don't want it to erase anything in the backround, that being the actual signature line on the form. I can't quite figure out how to do this using Photoshop.

I would like to take a basic sketch drawing and use it for a tshirt design. I've scanned the image and cleaned up all the speckles and dust. The only problem I'm still encountering is that the lines are not even. It was traced in sharpie before I scanned it so the lines are crisp and smooth, but not even.

I am trying to seamlessly merge two pages of a scanned book into one consistent image. The image sides are slightly crooked and there is a gap between them. I can't seem to align the two sides and merge the two together.
Also when I align one side the other is will not line up. Here is the image:

I have a very large piece of artwork in my possession. The artwork was originally drawn in high-resolution on a computer, but a true digital copy of the original is not available to the public.
My copy of the artwork is large enough such that the original pixels can just barely be distinguished by the naked eye. I would like to scan it in at extremely high resolution, or take photos of it (multiple photos of various sections may be necessary for enough resolution). Afterwards, I am wondering if Photoshop, some available filter, or other image-processing program would be able to analyze this ultra-resolution scan and reconstruct a perfect copy of the original digital image?
The idea is that if I can see the original pixels with my eye, Photoshop should be able to likewise deduce all the original pixels of the original digital image, and reconstruct it as such via some algorithm, in the original resolution.

I would like to scan an image and clean it afterwards because areas of the same color in the original image (a poker card, so a simple logo with white, black, red, blue and yellow areas) end up to have spots of different color.
Is there a way to improve scan fidelity or edit the image with Gimp in order to smooth these differences and recreate the same areas of uniform color?

Using Gimp 2.8 in Windows 7. I have a scanned image of a topological map. At areas where the contour lines get too close, squares appear in between the image (See attached photo). Is there a good way to remove these extra squares in the contour lines rather than tracing the lines manually?

I've got lots of pages of B&W scanned images that are not quite centered. My usual method for centering them would be:
1. Open image.
2. Ctrl + Shift + N to create a new layer.
3. Select the Paint Bucket tool and fill the new layer with white.
4. Move the new layer down using the arrow button on the Layers window.
5. Select the top layer again by clicking on the Layers window.
6. Select the Move Pixels tool and drag the image until it visually looks centered.
7. Ctrl + M to merge layers down.
8. Save.
Is there any smarter, faster, fewer clicks way of accomplishing this? Is there any way of programming this so I don't have to visually center each page?(Also, I usually have to close and reopen paint.net after about 10 pages because the program isn't freeing all memory when files are closed.)

Below is a logo that I scanned form a logo designs book. The grey area needs to be solid black.
I can use the trace feature on CorelDraw. However, the trace feature does not outline the artwork very well.
Is there some way I can make the logo below solid black and solid white without having to sketch the whole thing using features like trim and nodes?
It may be that the trim feature and the nodes feature is about the only way to make the artwork really good and sharp.
