Part 2 – Take your photograph

1. For small paintings and drawings you might find it easier to use a scanner. Nearly all scanners use the TIFF format by default, some will capture straight to JPEG format.
2. If you are using a digital camera, consider the lighting (outdoors is easiest) and get the photo as straight as possible. There is advice on the society's forums and elsewhere.
3. It is much easier to avoid reflections and glare if there is no glass in the way. Most professional sites do not show the frame.
4. Most small digital cameras capture images in JPEG format. Larger cameras can usually do so.
