A tutorial meant for artists who are new to publishing their works online. I've seen many uncropped, unedited sketches and pictures, and I think it's a pity. Some of my friends, who like to draw from time to time but not too often, tend to do that, and I just can't comprehend why they don't try to improve the quality of the photo/scan. So I decided to make this and show that it doesn't take much effort :) I illustrated it with the programmes I use but there are also others, even the simplest picture browsers usually have some adjustment tools.

I've never made a tutorial before but I hope it's at least a bit useful! Don't hesitate to share it with someone who's reluctant to edit their art after scanning :)

Maybe you know better strategies, after all I'm no expert, but this is not meant for experts either. Feel free to share your ideas :)

I mentioned the groups because many of them don't like the scanner borders, dark mobile phone photos of pictures etc. With the adjustments I proposed you are much more certain to avoid your art being declined in most groups on dA :)

The picture I used was drawn by me.

Thank you for this helpful tutorial. I haven't used the scanner yet on my printer so I don't know how things would turn out.
