Much of my new #digipres mahi (job) is community and commercial liaison. In #digitising the #heritage of our district communities, there is much that has been collated which is officially "private" and/or "copyright" so there is a LOT of contacting various people and organisations to make sure we have their express permission to place certain images and articles in the online archive. Otherwise we can only preserve them digitally on the hard-drive storage. Today I contacted a large #NZ magazine!

@KingSara Funfact, I'm currently #digitising the #history of the #Murihiku #Southland #WesternDistrict #HumpridgeTrack as it becomes a #GreatWalk #Aotearoa #NZ in a year's time... I think a few people will come & do multiple walks.

I've put the Baldur's Gate #aquarelle under the #scanner last night; I think I actually like the results from photographing it with my phone better. The #Canon #MG2550S makes it look rather pale, and some of the brush strokes seem to stand out more?
It can probably be improved quite a bit in post-processing, but I was hoping for better results straight out of the box.
(I also need to do manual cropping, as it doesn't recognise the borders well enough...)

Fellow #artists, any recommendations when scanning or otherwise #digitising your work?
