Uh yeah .. my mistake change latter to former in my post.  I agree with you and thought that's what I'd said.

I will call off the hitman then.  ;)

I have another question related to this topic.

I have noticed that in a lot of the complete books that come from paper scans, the scans are washed out.
This is something that I can readily fix, to make the colors "pop" more. Is this something that you guys on the site are looking for someone to actively do this job?
I would love to volunteer to do this work for you.
You could make a list of the most books in need of this work.
What do you think?
Yours,
bminor

Hi B,
While adding pages isn't changing the original scan so I feel it's safe to say use them what you are talking about is changing the work of another scanner.  I don't feel qualified to speak for all scanners and give blanket approval for something like that.

I think it best to leave such fixes for private use and leave the originals as-is.  Unless you can get permission to redit from someone such as Narf or BuilderBoy who doesn't mind people tweaking their scans.

Just a suggestion, Yoc.

Any improvements to a file would, I think, be welcomed by most readers. How about allowing Bminor to download his improved files as alternates to original files? The new file would still be credited to the original scanner, with a note: (alternate by Bminor).
