What you want for something like this is a copy stand and a high- resolution digital camera. Lay the large original on the table. Position the copy stand so the object is completely in frame. Adjust the lights to ensure the document is evenly lit. Shoot. It's just the evolution of film copying. andy _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
