<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 1526182, member: 33&quot;]Hi, [USER=602]@Aquitaine[/USER] . Actually, those particular images were sent to me by the people who cleaned my daguerreotype. I&#039;ve never mastered the art of it, but there are some tips available out there related to using light coming from angles, etc. Another thing I&#039;ve tried is wearing completely black clothing and propping the dag up on a pillow and lying on the bed on my stomach, facing the image. That sort of worked.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you happen to have certain EPSON brand scanners, I understand that those are better for getting scans of cased images than many other scanners are. There is a way that the depth can be set to get the scan. I recently started using an EPSON scanner but haven&#039;t tried scanning a cased image yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also tried not using the flash, and making sure there is no glare on the glass by putting something to block the light. Attached is an early photo I took in 2014 when I first started to try to photograph these. I haven&#039;t tried lately. You can see this isn&#039;t very clear and is still affected by light. But it&#039;s visible. I believe that this one was taken by the method I just described.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]227195[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
