problems with my scanner ):

soo…
:D
i finally got my prints.
and that’s fine and dandy.
but i wanna put them on dA.
and i have to scan them.
the easiest way to scan them is to stick them into the document thinger on my scanner.
it pulls the photo through a thing and then spits it onto the glass so it can scan.
the only thing about this, is that, well…
it gets sort of..bent?
like this.

see that odd little…line of blur?
anyone know how to keep it from doing that?

Maybe you should use a digital camera?

i can’t afford one
i have a really film camera that i love to death, and i also prefer it over digital cameras.
and everything aside from that blur is perfect about the picture (in my opinion.)

i’ve already messed around with it in photoshop, there’s nothing i can really do for it aside from try to crop it.
the picture is okay.
if i scan it normally without sending it through the little conveyor-belt contraption in my scanner, it doesn’t have that blur, but it also has really bad quality that way.
i’m not sure what to do D:
