That gives me the digital image, then I'll often need to clean it up a little with Photoshop, removing any age-related damage on the vintage cover. I have a ton of great stuff, all Christmas-related, to post in the next few weeks. One magazine has a Christmas-themed cover that is just stunning, but it's in horrible condition, with severe water damage. I've reworked it extensively, and when I post it I'll also show the "before picture"...it was ugly! Actually I scan them, using a Dell all-in-one printer, scanner, fax machine.

If so, what is your setup like for the photography? The photos are awesome. Mark: Do you actually photograph the magazine covers and use those images?
