Dear Richard,

Would you care to elaborate?
Given that I hate scanning with a vengeance, this sounds a damn sight more
appealing. I know it was touched on some time ago, regarding copying
paintings, old prints etc.

My guess would be the following setup:

An accurate lightbox as main source
1DS on copy stand, connected to shoot tethered.
Zoom lens to frame and black card to mask off stray light from lightbox
Draw blinds to eliminate other colour casts etc
Shoot RAW files straight into C1 and also save to card

What have I missed out?

Regards
Neill Watson
