A couple more thoughts on the subject:

First, there are apps that are positioned as a "scanner" (or scanner replacement). I've tried one of those ("CamScan", or something like that, maybe CamScanner). I suspect their settings expect most of the background being white, so they are tuned for that. That can be more suitable for the task.

Also, there are relatively simple apps that allow changing brightness and constrast, cropping, etc. The one that I've been using on my phone (mostly for cropping and resizing) is called QuickPic. But as fas as I've heard it's been purchased some 2 years ago by a company with a shady reputation.
So, I am not sure I can recommend it.
At least, I am not updating mine.

HTH,

Igor

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
