Susan sent me a fab lizard. For some reason, the scanner thought he looked like this:


When in actual fact he looks like this:

  1. Two different lizards! Scanners and screens transform things.

  3. I m also surprised to see how much scanners change the look of some images... On my side I habe turned off the "auto adjustment" feature on my scanner and this has improved a bit but still...

    1. This is the first time my new scanner has not scanned a color normally (except for fluorescent, which it never scans right). In the past I have tried placing such 'difficult' pieces in the opposite direction on the scanner, but that didn't work here. I have no idea where the auto adjustment setting is on my scanner..... maybe I should investigate.

  4. Here the scanner turns bright orange into pale red/pink, too. And neon (fluorescent) colours vanish, too.

    Anyhow, I love to see this lizard, both versions :-)

  5. there is a simple explanation to this. It is not the scanner, the Lizard is clearly a chameleon (:

    1. I would like to see him in a range of blue. Maybe if I wait to scan him in winter?
