Cheaply Reproduce Paintings With An SLR

By Maryl Joop


Many artists are looking for good ways to reproduce their paintings without resorting to (a) repainting it, and (b) paying someone else to reproduce it for you. Repainting would be too time consuming and incredibly difficult to reproduce exactly.

Paying someone else to do it can be expensive, especially if all you want is one or two copies for friends. They would have to scan in the painting to the computer or repaint it themselves. The price of using their services is only worth it if you're producing your painting at a wide scale. Again, that isn't very cost effective if you are hoping to only need 1 digital or a few printed copies of it. Luckily, these aren't a painter's only resources when it comes to reprinting. She also has the option of taking a picture of it herself, and then doing as she pleases with it.

You are to only work in CMYK. Should you step off the beaten path, you'll find your print jobs looking nothing like what you designed on your screen.

Some of these positions include web designers, art directors, layout artists, photo editors, illustrators, logo designers and multimedia designers. Web designers especially are in high demand within the business industry and the outlook for those who have an education and specialization in Web design looks very promising.

They outstrip both the smart phone and the pocket-sized cameras (typically called point and shoots) in a few very important ways. A smart phone may have a ton of megapixels, but in the world of cameras, megapixels aren't all that matters. You have to have a big enough sensor to capture light for those megapixels to do much. The sensor is located at the back of the camera. It is the part that is exposed to the light presented before it. It captures light and saves it.

These are the basic colors of the spectrum. You cannot subtract anything from these light mixtures; you can only remove light, which creates the color black. On the other side of the spectrum, white is the combination of every color in the spectrum. Should you combine red, green and blue in this model, you will create the color white.

An SLR has a significantly bigger sensor that captures the important details with a lot of megapixels to compliment it. Then you ask about the point and shoots (those pocket-sized cameras). Aren't they good enough? On the sensor side, they are still significantly smaller than the SLR. It can't let in the maximum amount of light.

They also differ in an important way in regards to their sights. The view window you look through looks about 2 or 3 inches higher than the picture you're taking. In other words, your view window looks at something different than your lens does. It's your sensor's view that matters.

Black was added to the mix because no matter how much you mix cyan, magenta and yellow, they just simply won't create a true black. You will make a few darker, dirty browns that can be useful.

A quick turnover in available positions means that there will be a sizable number of graphic art jobs available to those talented and dedicated individuals who desire to make graphic arts their profession.
