| How to "cleanup" Raw scans? |
| << < (2/2) |
| ShoothimNow:
I am currently in the process of scanning over 300 instruction manuals to hopefully bring in some new covers to the site, however each scan is roughly 10MB in size and I have a very slow internet speed Can someone please assist me in how I should better my scans before uploading. http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS2/SNow.retail.raw_ps2_crashtwinsanity.jpg http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony - PS2/SNow.retail.raw_ps2_athens2004.jpg http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/raw/Sony%20-%20PS2/SNow.retail.raw_ps2_granturismo4.jpg 1) I know that my uploaded covers are 1000 DPI, that is how I like them. I can easily fix something and then downsize from 1000 to 300 DPI. This then makes that somewhat small white dust speck into a perfectly good looking cover. 2) I know there is some moire effect on the RAWs, it is the best my scanner can do. 3) Colors have been untouched from original scan Should I apply a filter, then downsize? Or should I keep at 1000 DPI and just upload them? At 40Kb/s, its 4 minutes a cover. I don't mind the wait, but should I attempt to fix them before I upload? Any assistance would be appreciated. A step by step guide like how JigSaw posted would be very helpful. "This needs focused better, so apply this filter" etc. Thanks again |
