Made A Test Scan - Not Sure If I Should Upload It

<< < (3/5) > >>

Dear cynic,
about downsizing scan data.

I scan with 300 dpi and produce single pages around 2 MB.
Having scanned all pages and named them, I use an automated Photoshop run including a contrast and tonal value correction.
AND setting the size per page to 1.000 pixels in width.
Thus getting single pages of about 600 Kbyte "fat".
Resulting in a clean and crisp and slim scan to upload.

Cynicalman:
Thanks for the link, Yoc - that will come in handy   ;)

I did the 300 dpi scan, as the tutorial suggested, but it also suggested 1024 pixel width, not 1000, to fit most monitors  (though these days, 1200, or even 1920, are much more common).

Do you compress your jpeg's?  I used the highest setting for quality on the final images, but suspect some compression will be needed to keep the files at 1 MB or less per page.

Yoc:
Hi guys,
I think a final jpg at 1200 px wide saved at 9 or 10 quality level is fine.  T's scans could be bigger by a bit if he wanted but each to their own.
:)

narfstar:
In Irfranview you can set the file size to the Meg you want

Yoc:
Sure, lots of ways of skinning this cat.
