Yoc:
That's great info BB.
I think we had an old topic somewhere around here where JVJ and some others talked about their scanning techniques. This would make a good addition to it.
srca1941:
I don't use Photoshop rotation, or anything really. Not on my master scans that is (which I save as uncompressed JPGs). What I post here, other than having been resized, are raw scans. And yes, actions and batch processing are two of the greatest time saving features in Photoshop.

builderboy:
your work looks beautiful, Eric. always crystal clear
Thanks for the kind words, Yoc. I would be interested in hearing what some of the others are doing for editing techniques. JVJ gave me a handful of tools for the process. I have incorporated some, modified others. I don't think everybody has the same philosophy or same finished product in mind when they work, so there is likely some great degree of difference in processes.
Although my process keeps evolving, I should do a list this weekend of the steps I take in an edit...throw it out there and get some reaction. Who knows, somebody might learn something in the process of discussion (hopefully me!).

The "quality" setting in the jpg "save" window applies mainly to areas of flat color, so 150 ppi saved at "high" quality only adds more subtle details to broad areas of color and the transitional areas between hard line edges - it will have VERY little affect on the lines. Which means, of course, that you're absolutely right that a 300 ppi jpg at "low" will have more (at least TWICE the) DETAIL as a 150 ppi jpg saved at "high" simply because there are more pixels to work with.
The more pixels you capture with your scan, the better you can make your final cbz file output. Most of the compression happens in areas that your eye skims over anyway, so the jpg algorithm just tosses pixels that don't add much your appreciation of the page.

Yoc:
I'm going to move these to that scanning topic if I can ever find it again!
