Charles, Find a south facing window. Set the picture on a stand, chair, etc. at right angles to the window. (picture side lit by the window to cut reflections) Set-up the camera on a tripod. Angle the picture up and the camera down so picture and camera back are parallel. If the light is too uneven, get a white reflector for the other side of the photo. If the picture is a bit curly, add a piece of glass in front. (from a picture frame?) I did lots of these with the PZ-1, an A100/2.8 macro, and Ectachrome. Regards, Bob S.
