First attempt at scanning
I have some copies of Men Only which I would like to upload but unfortunately I don't know the first thing about scanning! I have followed some of the excellent advice here and I have posted two test scans. They were scanned at 300dpi (see how technical I'm getting!) with none of the scanner's options selected except for descreen and I also put something behind the pictures to prevent bleeding as advised. I don't know if it's my scanner but they appeared to come out a bit dull so I increased the contrast afterwards to try to make them sharper. I left the colours well alone! I have even attempted to stich the centrefold together to see how that came out. They appear to be rather small in size but if that's an issue I can re-size them. Thanks in advance for any feedback.
