Scan or picture?

Unread post by xsquatx »

What do you guys prefer to put your autograph on the internet?
Scanning the picture or taking a picture with your phone/camera.

I've mostly seen camera pictures, so I was wondering if it would ruin the picture if I scan it.

I don't know if its a stupid question but I want to preserve the picture. ;-)

Scanning doesn't hurt them at all. {thumb2} I scan all mine in on a high-quality scanner then save them to my flash drive so I have a whole backup copy of my ENTIRE collection. {thumb2}

I just take photos because I don't own a scanner. But scanning doesn't hurt them. I actually go to Kinkos and make color copies of all my autographs (very similiar process to scanning) and it's fine.

Scanning is absolutely fine, I always scan mine unless they are bigger than 8x10" size, as the pictures are clear to see. {thumb2}

I usually scan mine, but I have to use My dad's printer. I usually take pictures for fanmail, and scan them later on the computer, so i can always have them on my hard drive.
