bingo - Thanks - Bob, and Larry - I think the key will simply be to
tell the phone it is photographing a document.. as opposed to a "picture"
don't know if he though of that.. I'll send him this.

There apps where you can tell them what you're photographing, and they will
expose and adjust accordingly.
For example, I use Microsoft's Office Lens, which is free with my hotmail
accont/ subscription, on iPad and iPhone .
You can tell it you're photographing a document and it exposes for white paper.
It also puts a frame around what it thinks is the document, whoch you can
adjust, and when you take the snap it adjusts the geometry to produce a flat
image with the correct right angles.
It doesn't produce museum-grade reproductions of course, but there may be
something out there that does the same thing to the appropriate level of
quality. But if your friend has a MS account he could at least try Office Lens.

One of my long time Scrabble buddies I play Word with friends with has been
putting up a few of his pencil drawings to share on facebook.. He photoed witht
he camera on his Droid - the problem with appreciating them is that he doesn't
know how to shoot or edit for a thin lined pencil drawing on white paper...
which displays, as you might
have guessed, as and 18% gray card - or close to it. especially with the one
he has used as his facebook thumbnail it suffers mightily from correct contrast
and detail.
He made one of them slightly better himself but what he said he did on the phone editor
was "darken" it. hmmm,
I know nothing from smart phones - ideas? I did say I'd put it my photosop
editor and adjust but he didn't send me a file.
thanks
