Maybe we can improve what you got via tweaking technique. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Scanners are good at illustrating technical detail but incapable of correctly depicting color or surface preservation so you can&#039;t grade from their results.
