Hello,
I've just scanned a pencil drawing that I completed recently, but something is totally wrong. I've gotten a lot of "glare" where there should be black's on the drawing.

I fear that I have been pressing too hard with, which has made the led on the paper reflect the light from the scanner and thus greating this glare.

My cuestion is:
Is there some way in Photoshop where I can edit this? I've tried using clone tool, but have yet to achieve a satisfying result. Also, if there's something one can do during scanning, I'd very much like to know.

I've added the picture, so you can see for yourselves.

All replies are greatly appriciated.
Thanks.

PS: If there's a better suited subforum for this thread, please feel free to move it.

You could try a curve adjustment layer with a layer mask, but it won't be easy.

Personally, I would duplicate the drawing with a camera, not a flatbed scanner.

Thanks. I'll try that.
