@karenwhitefan Oops... looks like I've accidentally deleted the two halves from my scan archive. I'll have to rescan them both again and I'll PM you when I do.

im using a bog standard scanner rright now
the only adjustments are for light contrast and dpi there must be some scanner somewhere with better software that gives you more control and maybe a bigger preview picture so you have an idea what your result will be any advice for a purchase ? Im on xp |

I've done a quick fix. [img=http://img245.imagevenue.com/loc362/th_53530_NJ_Straps_Lack_Und_Leder_10_01a_3_123_362 lo.JPG] I've deliberately left a couple of errors. Just in case any of you spot them and think I've been slack. Last edited by karenwhitefan; August 6th, 2008 at 08:29 PM.. Reason: Posted wrong link. |

There is an article in this thread which shows a review of the scanner I use. The scan preview window is quite large. It's the Epson Perfection 2480. It might still be available. http://www.behardware.com/articles/5...-scanners.html I must stress though that I am a firm believer that all corrections to brightness, contrast, saturation etc is much better done using graphics software Photopaint, Paintshop Pro etc as they allow you to see in more detail changes that you have made and also allow you to undo the changes. |

Thanks for this outstanding guide, it was reason enough for me to switch over to PS CS3 and am just amazed what you can do with that! A real quantum leap for me, thx!!!

Scanning double sided mags with PS
Scanning double sided mags with PS
Unlike in SolarJM's example (again thanks for the great hints!) we have different or one picture that spread over to pages and have NO content gaps: 1) At first scan both single sides you want to become on image making the scan overlapping a bit so that PS can auto align them. Scan one, then the other and then paste the second into the first, as a new layer. 2) Auto-Align them by selecting both layer (use CTRL when clicking both layers), then chose Edit > Auto-Align Layers 3) Now after one another crop the layers so that only a minimal part is overlapping, but do not cut away too much because the blending (next step) will not look that good anymore. 4) Select both layers again and choose Edit > Auto-Blend Layers 5) Merge the layers 6) Crop the image removing all the edges. Voilą, you have one beautiful image that has no viewable break. You can find examples in all my scans, take this e.g.: Last edited by hartwig; October 13th, 2008 at 08:47 AM.. |

Any experts know how to achieve the same results in Paint Shop Pro? I've struggled with these problems with sometimes unsatisfactory results. I like psp for it's balance of features/ease of use, but maybe it's time to move on.
