The more and more fancy the computers get and the more advanced the technology becomes such as digital drawing, the more I'm using the computer to create my artwork instead of drawing on paper, but, that's a big but, I still draw on paper because it just feels right and I'm used to doing it. My whole career I've done that. So what I want to talk to you about is basically how to scan images into your computer in one of two ways. The first one I am going to show you using the software that may have come with your printer. In my case, I have an HP printer and this is the device here, the HPPSC 1500 series, 99 dollars. You can't beat that. It has a scanner a printer and I think a copier. I can't believe it. The first printer I bought back in the day was 700 dollars and I just thought that was ridiculous but now you can get a printer for nothing. First of all, you have to install the disc that comes with your printer, or your scanner, and then in this particular application I'm going click on devices and you see I have a scanned picture button here. I've placed a copy of one of my comic books that I did back in the day called Hamster Vice on the glass of the scanner, and I clicked scan picture. Now I already did this earlier, because it took a little while to get this so I'm going to move this up and show you that you get this preview window once you click the scan button. And this basically allows you to resize the area that you want to scan. And on this particular page I have my heroes confronted by the awakening demon roach. As you can see I hate roaches, so I made it a monster. Now I can then decide how I want to scan this in. I can decide to scan it as a gray scale, mixed color, and since I don't really have any color in there I would choose gray scale. If it was a photograph, I'd choose photo and text for OCR, which simply means optical character recognition, so that it can be broken down and edited. I would choose that so I can go to Microsoft Word. Now that confuses a lot of people. It's like how do I scan text and then write on it? Well OCR simply looks at the letters and it figures out what each letter is. Sometimes it messes a little tiny bit and it will recreate that scanned image as real text. And you can then open it up and change it. That's very cool. But we're not talking about that at the moment. So let's get back to where we are here. I can also choose to resize my image, rotate it, adjust it it and so on. I'm going to leave it as it is. I'm going to use all the setting that I have already placed here, and then once I am ready to scan I can click the scan button or the accept button. So that's how I would be able to scan that into the computer and once again I'm not going to scan, because it will take some time. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to open up Photoshop and show you another way to scan. A lot of people actually scan through Photoshop because when install software that comes with your scanner it also will look for your copy of Photoshop, often times asking you to locate the folder that contains Photoshop, or whatever application you like to scan from and it will install the software you need. And you have to restart your computer and I'm going to show you where to find that right now. So I will go to my file menu and I'll choose import and than you see here is the name of my scanner, the HP all-in one scan. And as you see here this is from my older scanner that I had but, I would choose the HP all in one scan and once again it would open up this interface and I'd be able to scan my document into the computer. Once scanned the file would open up in Photoshop and than I can manipulate it and change it around and save it as a file that would be compatible for opening within painter. So scanners don't cost much and they're a great way for you to bring you digital artwork from traditional drawing methods into your computer.
