Partial transcription of the video
“Touch-ups Now I'll show you how you can retouch your image so it's perfect for printing. As a preliminary step, you will have to scan it. I do it in the scanner that I have at home, which works fine without having to spend a lot of money. Given that the image we have made is size DIN A4, it will fit on a smallish scanner. This way you won't have to spend a lot of money on a scanner. You can also have it scanned. Important stuff: you're going to scan it in color, if possible, in TIFF format.
