Every second that we're not growing BASIL is a second wasted

Can anyone share a guide or tutorial in digitizing acrylic (or any paint) on canvas? A friend of mine has this really convoluted workflow involving a bunch of copies of layers and several dozen photos taken with a DSLR at different angles and lighting setups. We're just wondering if there's a better way or anything.

What you’re describing, with the multiple photos/layers, is really the best thing if you have a canvas that’s too big to flatbed scan. Taking good photos of the canvas is 99% of making it work.

I was worried about that. Thanks though!

I think we made some progress using a speedlight and some strategic shadow placement. Part of the issue is the various reflectiveness of the different paints.
