Hi Wham,
I just downloaded your Whiz85.
I can see what you mean about some pages being more yellow than others but it's not that Terrible. I've seen a lot worse for sure. Have you got your scanner set for 'auto-colour' on? Turning it off might give you more consistency between scans.
As for the final file size it's because each page is Very Large! 2mb or more. DCM has an upper file limit of 200MB but we really would like a 36pg book below 50mb for sure. Your page dimensions are fine so I'm guessing you are saving your jpgs on Photoshop at the maximum 'quality' level. Try saving them at lower levels (5-7 say) until you can get to around 1mb per page.
I'll hold off adding your uploads to the site until I hear what kind of luck you have.

I just started at the end and posted 148, decidedly smaller. I'll try to reduce some more file sizes tonight.
Thanks!

Yoc:
Sounds good WC.
I don't see it on the FTP or waiting on the site though. I'll check again tomorrow.
GL!
captain billy:
127, 140 and 148 up. Hopefully properly. I'll work on the other two asap, but It might be next week.
Yoc:
Looks better WC!
I've renamed the Download Name to match the others on the site - ie Whiz Comics 127.
I cover that in the Upload tutorial here - http://tinyurl.com/yfrkumk
Not trying to nitpick here as I think you are looking for feedback, but you could have saved each page a bit larger if wanted. Perhaps one more level higher for Quality level when saving with Photoshop. Personally I shoot for between 500-800kb per a page. Each scanner has his own preferences but those are my suggestion. So your Whiz 148 would have been about 28mb instead of the current 10. But they are readable and that's the important thing!
Thank-you Very Much for sticking with it and helping to fill so many holes in our Whiz collection! Thankfully the process becomes second nature once you've done it a few times. Sadly it never is 'exciting' to scan unless you're seriously into it and have a Much faster scanner than my own super slow HP Scanjet 4370!
Take care,
-Yoc
