Is there anybody who can give me some tips on the best ways of taking pictures of a painting?
Outside with natural light?
Inside with artificial light? What kind of light? Direct/Indirect? How to point it?
What resolution is best? Is a higher resolution always better?
Once you have the picture, what is the best way to prepare it for web display?
Is there any website with usefull information?
I know, a lot of questions ... but any help would be very much appreciated!
