ETA: Damn Mara, your nails look GOOD.

That's the first thing I thought too!!!

Fire...your ring looks awesome!!! Next time I go to work I'm gonna scan my gorgeous tourmaline..never could get a good digital image of that puppy either. This is so much fun to see!

Thanks Princess!!

 

[MissAva]

Oh Mara you have such healthy looking nails, very nice! Have you tried just having your rings in the scanner with out your hand?

 

[Blenheim]

What a fabulous idea! Everybody''s rings just look so lovely.

I am such a bad LIW. I''m at my parent''s house for an indeterminant amount of time, and (despite BF''s self-imposed deadline being a month from tomorrow) I forgot my digital camera. I was hoping that their scanner would work for ring pics once I actually get it, but you have to feed the paper in. There''s no way a ring would fit.

You ladies are cracking me up with your scanner shots! Methinks PS has a new trend! Mara there is something " artsy" about your scanner pic!

 

[fatafelice]

Okay, I finally talked my BF into letting me take the cushion out to try and scan it last night ("But once its set, I won''t be able to scan it by itself...), and all of my scanner pics came out crappy. Mara, I seem to be having the same problems as you...Weirdly dark and streaky looking.

I think this has to do with what kind of scanner you have. I also have a copier/printer/scanner/fax combo (and HP) and it normally scans pictures and documents perfectly!

Matatora -- what kind of scanner do you have?

 

[princessv]

Hehe thanks to Mat''s picture I snuck in here to get a picture of the ring all by itself

 

[Mara]

fatafelice i was wondering about that, like maybe our scanner/printer/fax combo thing is just good enough for docs and other paperwork (i have even scanned in us weekly ring celebrity spreads with great results) but the hand and ring thing was just not happening no matter how i tried it.

I don''t know what kind my parents is (the aquamarine shots) but the one in the university computer lab is flat bed scanner....and I would say several years old by the looks of things.

I have to say I''ve really cracked up at this thread and I can''t believe the amount of detail that some of you were able to get with your rings. They look fantastic! So of course I had to try but I''m in the not so good camp. I, too, have a printer/scanner/copier and I just couldn''t get a good scan. This was the best I could do and you can''t really tell what my ring looks like at all. WAH!!!

 

[FireGoddess]

Just...gotta...zooom...in Michelle! We wanna see more ring and more bracelet!!!

seriously- it looks good... just a little closer, please

 

[Catmom]

ok, I tried again. Don''t know if this is any better, though.

 

[FireGoddess]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh - that''s better!!!!!!

 

[Amandas_Jewels]

hmmm I should def. try this sometime!

 

[bstraszheim]

Well, here''s my Whiteflash XO Pendant .50tcw that I have yet to post in it''s own thread : ) It''s really quite lovely, and the fire from those .125 suckers is amazing! Pity the scanner did not pick any of it up.

I hope you guys with good results post more pictures, really enjoying the ones posted so far!

I wish you well,

Bridget

 

[MissAva]

Very kool Bridget!

 

[InLuvWithMrH]

Love the necklace!!

 

[FireGoddess]

Too bad you can''t scan a neck shot Bridget!

Though that would look awkward, especially at work.

 

[bstraszheim]

Haha, I work for a tiny company, basically, there is the boss and one employee, me! I am also pretty chesty, so I can imagine the scan with mashed boobs trying to get the pendant to even touch the screen : ) I believe that the first scan came out so darkly because I couldn''t block the outside light with my hand holding the lid up.

I wish you well,

Bridget

 

[Catmom]

Neck Shots!! Neck Shots!!

 

[SoonIHope]

Yeeeah, so I had to scan an actual work related document just now, and I couldn''t be over there scanning things without trying to get another ring shot!!!! I think this is my favorite so far!

 

[SoonIHope]

BUT I stupidly forgot to zoom....so this is just me zooming in Acrobat so the quality''s not that great. But it''s sooo sparkly!!!!

 

[sunkist]

Oh great scanner shots, Albi! I''ve been wanting to tell you that I tried your ring on at the mall the other week

It is sooo delicate! Now I know why you love it, I don''t just have to see why you love it. Although these scanner shots are amazing

It''s beautiful in person! And the diamonds on top of the prongs are so fun and pretty.

Can you tell my work scanner is ancient? At least you can''t see my wrinkly hands!
