I understand what your saying, but can you honestly tell me you can identify these component codes in the top left corner or the first photo (or the touched up one)ttsgeb said:
you can identify these same components on the scan very easily since everything is in focus. I don't know where you got the idea I said we shouldn't ever go higher than 600dpi; I meant that if we know the resolution is 600DPI then we can figure out measurements from the scan. the same is true for 300, 900 and 1200DPI. I DID say that a 600DPI scanned document would be larger, which isn't always true, I meant it a a majority of digital SLRs are 8MP. My intention was to simply my argument, not to spread false information. But I was wrong and I admit to that..

I think this is a case of saying you know better than others without proving it. "Could of" is not a valid argument. Now if you go back and do a photo that is "10x better" I will gladly concede to you if it is superior to a scanned resource of the same board. For the record higher resolution does not equal better, which is proven by the lack of focus on the first photo.ttsgeb said:
Also, I'll tell you from my photography experience in my Animation VFX course at CSU in Wagga Wagga that you should never try to "fix" a photo in post. Get the photo done properly the first time; don't try to fix sub par work. (sub par work = your out of focus photo)
Wasn't the entire point of this thread to layer all of the board layers together in photoshop? a scanner will be more useful for that. Full stop.ttsgeb said:
This isn't about being right or wrong (at least to me) this is about finding the best way to do it. I never said it couldn't be done, I said it wan't worth the extra time to take a photo over scanning it.
Also my challenge was for a photo resource to be better than a scanned version. The scanned version is lower resolution, I'll give you that, but it is in better focus and more usable.
