The Devil is in the detail, laddie!

Here's one for ye...

Two images, the same except one ended up being the other way round. One was taken with a camera. The other was taken with a flat-bed scanner. Can you tell which is which?





I'm a bit out my comfort zone with all this arty stuff, BTW!

Nah... Jesus is in the detail mate!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy Col...... errrr... huh huh huh... errrr... huh err huh... The first image (top one) is the scan.

Wrong. But I can see why you went that way - I'd have done the same. It was blummin' difficult getting the lighting as even with the camera as it was with the scanner (which kind of took care of itself ) Interesting wee exercise. Could try laying out a grid of flies on the scanner, maybe...

Liar liar yer knickers are on fire!!!!!!!!!! So how is the scan sharper than the photie??

Er, dunno Rob. Look about similar sharpness at this end, though not in the same areas. I left all sharpening off both until last thing and then gave them both the same amount. If you think about it, the camera's sensor is the size of... er, whatever a C-size sensor is - less than a 35 mm frame anyway, while the scanner's sensor is the size of a sheet of A4.

Aye Col, I just hate to think that a £100 scanner would win over a £800 DSLR

The thing that really persuaded me though was the 'hard light' on the centre of the right hand leaf... like the 'flash' off a scanner, if the leaf wasn't completely flat or summat

£45 the scanner was, if memory serves. If it makes it any easier to accept, it's a Canon scanner

That's exactly what I was gonna say! I just though you were a little classier than that Col You'll be telling me it was the Aldi 'Medion' brand next.......................
