Clean 24 Hand-Drawn Illustrations

I have twenty-four ink and colored-pencil illustrations that were scanned at high resolution. Each piece needs careful digital cleanup so the final art can go straight to press without a trace of paper texture, scanner dust, or uneven lighting.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

• Remove every paper fibre, smudge, and artifact while keeping the integrity of the original stippling, hatching, and pencil work untouched.
• Strengthen the black linework just enough for crisp reproduction—no thickening or loss of fine dots.
• Where a drawing contains colored-pencil accents, lift and balance those hues subtly; don’t recolor.
• Supply both a pure-white background version and a fully transparent background version of each file.
• Work at 600 DPI, prepared to print at 8.5 × 11 inches and still hold up if I decide to scale a bit larger.

I normally work in Photoshop and run passes through Topaz for noise and sharpening, so if you prefer that pipeline we’ll speak the same language—but I’m open to any software that delivers pristine results.

Final deliverables:
1. 24 cleaned images, white background, PNG or TIFF, 600 DPI
2. 24 matching images, transparent background, PNG or TIFF, 600 DPI

I’ll judge the work on consistency across the entire set: even contrast, razor-sharp lines, preserved textures, and zero residual artifacts. If you can meet those standards, I’m ready to send the scans and get started.
