  • Comment: However black the shadows are (and the artist intended them to be), a scan should show some detail. Otherwise it is certain that information has been lost in the scanning process. Ideally, you should see some faint brush-marks or structure even in the darkest parts. Edit: Look at the histogram in Photoshop, Gimp or some other editor, it is clipped at the dark end! --Janke | Talk 09:19, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
