Is there any way to get rid of shadows on a printed page?

open source 3d scanner image

Lois V

I am scanning and copying pages that have 3D embellishments on them and I keep getting a shadow on the copy. I have tried holding the top of the scanner down to minimize it, and I've tried editing with the eraser, but there has to be an easier way.

Answer
Shadows are created from a light source.

So here is one guess as to why there are shadows. When you scan, there is a light that scans the item. So either you can, keep the lid all the way open. Or keep the lid open and put a cloth/sheet over the item, make sure you have this cloth tight around the whole item, inside any cracks etc..

To help not see the shadow at all, use a dark color (black) sheet.

What software do I need to make cartoons?

Jimmy

I want to make animated cartoons, but am not sure what software I need. What software is best to draw the characters and backgrounds? Once I draw the characters do I then put them into Adobe Flash to make a cartoon?

Answer
You can use any of these FREE Cartoon Animation Softwares.........

Pencil : http://www.pencil-animation.org/
Pencil is an animation/drawing software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.

Synfig Animation Studio : http://synfig.org/
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation with fewer people and resources.2D Animation has traditionally been very expensive because every frame must be drawn by hand. Even with today´s digital inking and painting software, the process still relies on individuals hand-drawing each frame. This laborious task is called "tweening".Synfig eliminates the task of manual tweening, producing smooth, fluid motion without the animator having to draw out each frame individually. This allows you to produce 2D animation with fewer people while producing art of a higher quality.

Tapptoons Linetester : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/tapptoons/index.htm
The Tapptoons Linetester enables animators to use a scanner or video camera (with compatible capture card) to input animation images into a standard PC and edit their work, adding soundtrack and color if they wish and to output the result as a Windows AVI. Can be used for puppet animation as well as drawn animation.

eDrawings : http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/
eDrawings is a freeware utility which will give the user the power to view, create and share 3D models and 2D drawings. eDrawings offers unique capabilities like point-and-click animations that make it easy for anyone with a PC to interpret and understand 2D and 3D design data.
