Default Batch scanning with Irfanview

This is not a guide on how to get the best quality scans. I am no expert in that field. This is mainly a guide on how to save and name your scans.


VEF is a great forum. For an important part thanks to the scans that are posted. Some of you may posses magazines, but don't know how to do it easily. That's why I decided to write this.

The only software you need is Irfanview. Irfanview is awesome, Irfanview kicks ass! Yes, I am a great fan of Irfanview and I advise everybody on a Windows computer to use it. Irfanview will batch scan, edit, convert and/or rename your images. It will do a lot more, but I'll limit this guide is to batch scanning.

Launch Irfanview,
Go to File > Acquire/Batch Scanning:



This dialogue box will pop up:

- Choose Multiple images
Output file name: Enter something recognizable, something that will separate the scans from other mag scans
Starting counter: Usually this would be 1, with a missing cover it would be 3. In this case I scan 2 pages at once, so I start with 0.
Increment: the number of pages you scan at once, so 1 or 2.
Number of digits: 2 for mags with less than 100 pages, 3 for mags with 100 pages and more
Skip existing files: not relevant when you create new files
Remember last scan counter: tick this, so you can stop half way and continue later
Destination directory: Pick your own, I advise to use an empty folder
Save as: use an uncompressed file type for intermediate files, for example bitmap.
Save as multiple image: do not tick
When you click on OK, your Twain scanning software will pop up:


Use whatever settings you want, just don't forget the descreen filter .
Now this was the most difficult part of the whole guide. All you have to do now is click on the Scan button and Irfanview will save and name the scans for you:


If you have/want to skip a page, just close your scanning software, relaunch the Irfanview batch scan dialogue box and adapt the starting counter. You can stop and continue later, Irfanview will remember the right number.
When you're done with scanning the mag, you may end up with a folder looking like this:


Not good for your neck, but don't worry, there's not a problem that Irfanview can't fix. 'Cause he can do it in the mix.
Just launch the Irfanview batch conversion/rename tool:


Output format: JPEG
Options: 70% would probably enough, but I use 80%, which gives a fine compression and quality. other options are not needed.
-Click on Add all or make a selection and click on Add
Output directory: make your pick, but it is advisable to use a uniquely named folder, which is easy to archive.
Advanced: clicking it will launch next dialoge box:


Rotate right
: tick this box
Add overlay text or Add watermark image: not necessary, but very useful. This will make your scans and thus reposts recognizable.
Custom processing order: tick this when you want to perform more than one action:


Choose the right order. In this case the rotation must happen before putting in the overlay text. Click on OK.
When you click on OK on the Advanced Options box and on the Start Batch button, Irfanview will convert the images:



And Bang! You're done:



Don't forget to post them
Happy scanning,
Jim

Default batch scanning single pages

When a magazine is too large to fit two pages on a scanner, you have to scan each page individually. In that case I suggest you scan all pages in the same corner of the scanner, alternating pages by rotating the magazine, like this:



For a reason explained very well by Dekoda.


Of course the end result of this will be that half of your scans will be upside down. This is where Irfanview comes to use again.
First of all copy the folder with your new scans.
- Then launch Irfanview and start the Thumbnail browser by pressing T.
- Navigate to the folder containing your scans
- Resize the window so that you have an even number of columns.
- This way you have columns of straigt up and colums of upside down scans
- And you can easily select them by clicking on them while pressing the Ctrl key. Like this:


Then press B to go to the Batch conversion dialogue:



Output format: use the same format you used for the original scans
Output directory: use a new folder
Start Batch: to be used later
Advanced: click this to get to the Advanced Settings screen:



Just tick the Fine rotation box and enter 180. Then click OK to go to the previous screen.
Now you have entered the necessary settings, so click on Start Batch. You will see this screen:



Now go the the newly created folder with the rotated scans. Select them all and copy them:



Now go the the copy folder of the original scans and paste the rotated scans. You will get a screen like this:



Choose 'Yes to all' and wait for the files to be overwritten.
The end result will look like this:



Happy Scanning!
