Scanning probe

[DickB]

If you're curious about how the scanning probe works, here are some photos from a scan that I just did for my Ford Bronco "woody" golf cart project.

This is a Ford Bronco emblem mounted in one of my sleds, ready for scanning.

This is the raw scan. The scan area is about 3" x 4.5" x .5" thick. The scan with best quality took about an hour.

The Pattern Editor De-Noise Filter applied at max setting cleaned quite a bit up.

The pattern was lowered in Pattern Editor to eliminate the background. A bit of Smooth Filter applied, a bit of Trim Edges Filter, and finally Round Edges Filter to complete the pattern.

Finally, the pattern applied to a steering wheel center cap.

Great job, I've had my probe for years and have yet to use it.

Same here! Haven't used mine either. But after seeing these results and the explanation of the process, I will have to give it a try!
Being housebound it will be a good activity!

Finished.

I, along with many others have been following your progress.
Can't say it enough. THAT is super cool!

[DickB]

Thanks. This is a fun project.

And I will be making a pair of emblems for the front fenders, along with the Bronco script.
