A scanner would actually work much better for documents.

Thanks Rob, I do agree & I have done that on some documents, however if there is an image on the backside that image bleeds through on the scan.

Brook, when you scanned, did you place a dark or black card behind the document to prevent the "bleed through" you describe? Usually the platen cover is white, which reflects all the light from the bulb and I can see how that would cause this bleeding on thin stock originals. But a black ground should absorb that light so the bleed-through should be reduced or eliminated.

Oh, that makes perfect sense! Thanks Rob, I will have to try that when scanning. I do still need to shoot some photos of documents as they are larger than what our scanner allows, so if there is still a good way of shooting documents I'd love to know about it :) Thanks!!

For larger documents, you could scan it in sections and stitch them together in photoshop.

Hi Brook, Scanning is generally easier. Still if you want to do this with a camera, this article will help: www.betterphoto.com/article.php?id=170. Thanks, John Siskin
