scanning artwork for comp.

[Peter Wolf]

right its like this:i am still living in the dark ages here in this house.i have just got a scanner.just got to pick it up anyday now.  here is the problem? i have had to correct   a couple of mistakes in my art as sometimes it happens+anyway i havnt drawn for years..to correct mistakes i literally cut +paste another layer of paper over the area in question. what i dont know is firstly how a scanner copies the image because if you expose the picture in front of a light source then the corrected area shows as a dark patch...does a scanner work differrently to a photocopier ?will this ruin my work when scanned?if so then the answer seems obvious but i would rather ask you all first just to make sure as you all seem to be so competent at these things.  thanks.peter.

Wouldn't worry about it too much, never been a big problem for me.
(Although these days I will draw the new bit on a different sheet of paper and then scan it in and stick it on the page in photoshop)
