watson387's First Scan!
watson387:
Scanned and uploaded my first full-issue scan today!
Blue Bolt vol. 6 no. 2 ctc. Scans are raw except for some cropping and resizing. Pending Admin approval at the moment.
Book had a cover and all the pages were still stapled together when I started. Can't say that now although the cover coming off and pages falling out made it easier to scan. lol If there is any interest in editing I saved the raw .tif files, but the whole issue is almost 1 gig.

Congrats on your first scan.
The books do occasionally fall apart. I had Rangers 26 fall apart when I scanned it, cover and first 6 wraps. After the first 5 wraps had come off, I started scanning from the inside out, and the sixth wrap came off when I got to it.

Geo added it to the site.
Congrats on your first scan, welcome to the ranks and sorry your book didn't survive.
As I always say in this case - it died a noble death but will live on forever in digital form.

Hahaha! I bought it to scan anyway. I have a lot more respect for scanners now too. That's long, tedious work! :)

Amen to that brother. I hate my slow as hell HP Scanjet (talk about a misleading name!) with a passion. I'm sure paint must dry faster! But it sure feels good when a book is done and shared on the site.
