Tools & Supplies / A3 or 11x14 or larger paper for finished work

Is a 90 or 140 pound hotpress watercolor paper what most use for finished work in Spencerian? Or is there something else better than what I have been using that other recommend?

Digital Design / Photoshop VS Photoshop Elements?
« on: December 11, 2015, 10:09:09 PM »
PS experts: I'm often frustrated with design type programs (it all goes back to being an illustration major and being told I wasn't techie enough and I should switch to printmaking...12 years ago now and I did switch and never really learned design software). My question is if I was to learn and buy one for my calligraphy, which should I get? Honestly, I prefer Elements because of the price tag but if it can't do what I want, it is a waste of money. 

What I want to do is:
 
1. scan my artwork (watercolor and calligraphy...mostly broad edge at this point) and save to send to a fancy printer to reproduce for me (possibly even for giclee prints at some point) - minimum 300 dpi and RBG color
2. adjust the color (levels) possibly using an adjuster like this for very close color: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0055MBQOM/?tag=w0834-20
3. scan and cut out calligraphy (probably not the right term) for sending out for making a letterpress plate

Can I do those things with Elements?

Thanks!

Hi from central Texas! I love calligraphy and art and now that we actually have real internet (we live out in the country and were using a cell hot spot for the last year...long story) I'm excited to be a part of this forum. Looking forward to learning a lot!
