Place the hand or nail tip face down onthe scanner bed and scan.
Cover your hand with medium to dark color fabric so as to block off exterior light around the scanned object.
The fingers and nail tips should be hovering just a tiny bit off the scanner bed glass. The rest of the hand and arm can rest on the glass for a steady hand while scanning.
Always clean your scanner glass with a very soft cloth that has been sprayed with glass cleaner before the final scan. Never spray glass cleaners directly on the scanning glass.
Appy cuticle oil before the scan.
Set your scanner at 300DPI for greater clarity of a large image. If your scanner has a reduction setting, choose between 30% to 50%.
You are advised to make test scans with different settings and save the files as JPEG files.
After the scan is done, use your image editing software to crop, resize, add borders, or clean it up for whatever presentation it was intended for.
