I only use diffused daylight without takin' a flash or something. I usually take a place near my living room window.... the light is best there in the afternoon.
It'll be up to you to find a proper place yourself.
I'll definitely try taking it in daylight next time, maybe there'll be less of a glare then. Do you do any touch-ups in photoshop afterwards, or just leave it as it is?
Till today, i don't even have Photoshop. I only correct things like contrast a bit, usin' IrfanView, ha! If you have a good place to take pictures, you don't need programs like photoshop and such.
Awesome, that's what I was hoping for. I'm having the same problem with drawings that are too big for my scanner, it's such a mess to patch 'em together in photoshop.. Hopefully I'll figure out how to take some decent pictures soon.
