In which I Am Exceedingly Stupid



Sometimes, I really just don't know what's wrong with me. Why was I subjecting my sheet music to the bright light of a scanner? Apparently, having friends who studied archival, library sciences, and anthropology, and listening to them rant about proper storage techniques, I didn't feel the need to actually practice what they preached, even though I agreed with them.

Stupid me.

Why not just use my digital camera without a flash? It looks just fine, and is legible, which is the part that matters most.

Just look how nicely Alexander's Ragtime Band turned out:


The color is even more true than my scanner. All those wasted hours! I shall never let myself live it down.

    If you have photoshop or other graphic software you can lighten the exposure of the music to be able to see it better. You could also play with the exposure settings on the camera if you have them. Check the users guide to see how to do that.
