A method for producing digital ink in a collaboration session between a first computing device and a second computing device that presents a digital canvas. In some embodiments, the method includes capturing a raster image of content using a camera operably coupled to the first computing device, deriving first image vectors and second image vectors based on first and second portions, respectively, of the raster image, sending the first image vectors to the second computing device for displaying a first digital ink object based on the first image vectors, and sending the second image vectors to the second computing device for displaying a second digital ink object based on the second image vectors after the displaying of the second digital ink object.
