• Lay the picture flat on a cardboard with some folded tape at the back and leave it under the weight of thick book to straighten it over night so it is not bent or curved .
• Ideally the photos should be scanned on a scanner to upload for these to be usable for a hard copy canvass exhibition.
• If you are using a mobile camera to scan it please use pls ensure that at least it has mid range camera with 1 million pixels and shoot the photo using a diffused light to light up the picture .
• Can put a transparent fabric material on a lamp to light it.
