Need an accurate jpg image of a circuit board? Here is a way to get a scaled image that is accurate enough to take measurements off of. Just scan the PCB on a scanner, and there you go.
An image scanner can make great pictures of circuit boards. Not only are the pictures clear, they are very high resolution and have nearly perfect scaling. Perfect scaling means that you can actual make measurements from the image. Try that with a digital camera!

Wow, that’s pretty straightforward and simple. Kinda obvious, but I’ve had friends who’ve gone to great lengths to square up a circuit board on a camera, and typically with little luck. Your method makes it much easier!
It helps to scan a small (metal or plastic) ruler with the board as well.
if its got components on it already put a transparency down first
