Links of interest. Don't be afraid to check them out.
It's bizarre that almost all scanners come with a white backing plate, when you usually do want a black one.
ReplyDeleteBe very aware that using a black backing rather than a white one will change the resulting color; if you're using an IT8 target, for example, you need to recalibrate if you change the backing.
It's not always enough to use a dark backing: when scanning images on cheap, thin paper like newspapers and magazines, you may find it impossible to completely eliminate this problem at the scanning phase, and may need to apply curves and damage the color reproduction somewhat to reduce it further.
