When I heard about Circular Polarizers (CPLs) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizin ... otography), I thought it sounded exactly like something you folks would be interested in. Even if you don't have a DSLR, I bet you could jerry-rig something to hold a cheap CPL in front of the camera lens... and they're not even that expensive (assuming you don't need professional photographer-grade CPLs), like $10 on Amazon for the smallest one.
Just to show you what I'm talking about, here's some screenshots I shamelessly stole from Amazon:
I think I may buy one of those $10 CPLs and do an "experiment" to see what happens in a typical bookscanning setup, but before I do, does anyone have any input? Has anyone tried this before?
