Start with a Scan shows designers and illustrators how to transform raw scanned images into high-quality finished illustrations. While the opening section covers the technical basics of scanning, the bulk of the book uses gorgeous four-color illustrations and clear, step-by-step instructions to show you how to take a scan of almost anything - a lackluster photo, a piece of clip art, a household object - and turn it into beautiful artwork using programs such as Photoshop, FreeHand, and Illustrator.
