I work with oil and acrylic and am interested in getting a projector for digital image transfer, etc. A bit of Internet research and I thought it would cost around $100-200. chatGPT thinks my requirements seem more like I want to spend over $1000. Anybody have projector knowledge?
I work in a relatively small space and am hoping I can work the way I normally work while the projector is in use so it would have to be out of my way. My canvases are up to 84 x 57 cm (33 x 22.5 inches). The projector would be on a tripod approx 1.5 meters back (5 feet) and 20-30 degrees off perpendicular.
I'd hope not to need to work in a dark room (although can be like stormy / cloudy day), not to connect anything by wire (so wi-fi, usb, rechargeable battery). Looks like I need 2D keystone and 4 corner adjustment. (I also do landscape panoramas in which images are stretched.)
If this is definitely going to be in the very high price range, I'll probably need to adjust the way I work, accept a more difficult way to do the transfers, or just not use a projector.
