I need to take a picture of a ~5x7 picture that is on a wooden plaque. It is "glossy" but not outrageously so. It will be used primarily to project on a wall at a fairly low resolution and as a small print at a low res. It has a slight texture that is barely viewable unless it is angled in the light. It is fairly old, so the colors are also somewhat faded.
Should I use my light tent? Set it up so that it is perpendicular to the camera? etc?

| a CP filter might help kill some of the gloss. |

CP is a good idea.
Scanning is the next option. |

i don't know what you have for a scanner. but i've used a couple that have options for scratch/spot repair and color correction when the image is scanned. might make life simpler if the photo of the photo is going to require a bunch of time in PS cloning and what not.
