Hi Jim and Yoc,
I look forward to seeing the Jumbo comics. I would be glad to help in the future if any clean up of pages with PhotoShop is needed. I have a couple of big projects on the stove now with the upcoming Solar Guard reunion in Williamsburg, but should be able to provide any needed help on cleanup in the future. I feel like the crew at DCM are really providing a great service to comic fans around the world and I'm glad to help in any small way I can.
Ed
Yoc:
Jim has made arrangements for the two Jumbo scans but thanks for your offer Ed.
Good luck with the reunion!

It's Movielover's challenge, guys, and good luck to him. I just put a thumbdrive into the mail to him with 123 files (somehow I feel that there should have been at least 128) on it. If we missed some pages, it's going to be even MORE challenging. We shot all of the right-hand pages (front cover, page 1, page 3, etc.) and then turned the book over and shot the inside front cover, page, 2, page 4, etc. Of course, the pages aren't numbered and the stories are erratic in length. One helpful plus is going to be that the paper is quite varied in color throughout at least issue #2 - which may be of use if we missed any pages when we were shooting. #2 was VERY brittle and Bud and I were intensely nervous when we started as the pages kept separating from the spine with every full opening. We eventually settled on a 90 degree positioning under the tripod facing the natural light of the window and so the further along in the shoot, the better things look - with fewer shadows. At least I hope that is what happens. We'll all find out when ML posts his work. Let me know when the drive arrives and that the files are all readable. I have backups if necessary.
Peace, Jim (|:{>

It sounds like a very interesting challenge, good Luck Movielover. I found that the 90 degree angle was a little to sharp and made the angle on the frame a little larger, so that opposite pages wouldn't shade each other when taking pictures. I'm still working on the best angle for the frame and will pass along what seems best for shooting when I can get some sunshine again. The East Coast has been socked in with fog and rain. There's not much you can do when the pages are that brittle.. just hope that it will hold together long enough to get a good picture. PhotoShop really can bring life back to the pages. Good Luck....
