Why did you even bother? We need quality scans on /hr/ not B-Grade material.

Get out, and rescan it properly.

I've scanned lots of things without 'ruining' my books. You just have to know what you're doing.

it'd be nice to see a good version of this scan since it's a nice picture

Don't worry.

I would suggest that you start by putting some black card behind the scan. Stops any 'bleed-through'

You probably want to drop the resolution of the scan down a bit. 4624x6280 is still OTT

Don't forget to clean the scanner glass! (& post a .PNG when you are happy with the scan)

(and why does it keep blocking png version of this)

Hey dovac, your scans look excellent. May I ask what you do post scanning to get them so smooth?
>> dovac

scan at 1200 dpi, resize to 600dpi bicubic then:
blur-->blur more-->smart blur (radius 1, threshold 15, quality high)-->median(radius 1)
resize to 300dpi, use a filter plugin called neat image and tweak the filter manually from there...

riiiiiiiight

try it yourself on this scan (51mb)
it'll look pretty good minus the neat image filters, and to get rid of the weird rings around the white dress and arm use dodge + blur

thanks! oh, and one other thing, how much time do you spend on each scan to make it look nice? and then... why do you do it? just out of curiosity, since most people who would use it for stuff edit themselves.

Depends on how much my hd trashes -_-; about a hour or two at most, unless I forgot about photoshop in my taskbar for a good few hours.
Why do I do it? Learning experience, and...sharing is caring...I guess -_-;;
>> dovac
>>78765
enjoy -_-;;
used same process that I described in>>78961
