can you use a digital camera to color and style your pics on Adobe Photoshop 7.0 or do you have to use a scanner to do all that stuff? :wacko: I don't know if I should waste money on getting Adobe Photoshop 7.0 because all I have is a digital camera and no scanner.

Digital cameras are generally poor substitutes for a scanner.

It will still [i]work[/i], but unless your drawing already has a high contrast to it (like this), the camera won't be able to "see" the picture very well, and it'll be hard for it to [i]not[/i] come out all muddied and shtuff like this (or [i]worse[/i]) .

A scanner is the better tool for the job, not the least reason being that you have more direct control over its contrast/exposure settings than digital cameras allow.

I agree with strata. a scanner is definetly better. if you can try to find a friend or family member who has a scanner, use there's.

or go to a library or an open school. they mostly have places with scanners that are free to use and there is usually a computer. if you cant afford a scanner that is...... Cool
