This showed up in my twitter feed today so I thought I'd share. I remember this topic popping up in the forums a few times in the past.

This works really well. I use it every day.

You just made my life so much better.

Oooh, thanks! I'm going to give this method a try. I love using watercolors but it has been a challenge to digitize them and retain the same charm as the original.

Oh this is going to be so helpful.

If you use this tutorial for adjusting levels. (do it on each scan before you combine them in the method already listed) it will get you pretty darn close to your original. I have a value chart I scan in with my paintings and use the black and white swatches to adjust levels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VeDhq8Y4cU
