Has anyone experimented with using a scanner as a photographic tool? I just got an all-in-one printer and this is my first scanner. I think I definitely need to experiment with it more.

haven't been able to get a gun to scan right. gonna keep tinkering though. Same here. beavo451 what kind of All-In-One are you using? It's a Canon MP830. Took it off of a friend who wasn't using it. Of course, the images have to be run through photo editing software before they look right. |
Yes I had to gently hold my cat in place for that picture.

could you take pictures of your steps to doing this kinda stuff, for some reason i just can't think of how you are making these photos turn out so good, using a frikin scanner as your photographic tool The scanner is a great macro tool. Very sharp images. Leave the scanner open and place whatever object on the scanner glass. I've only used farly "flat" or "thin" objects. Place a white sheet of paper covering the object. This is the resulting scanned image: 
After cropping and straightening in PS: 
After curves adjustment and slight sharpening. Final image:
