I am a bit stymied. When is it too yellow. smile.
What I mean is II have a very old, and rare book here, it has been asked for
on Bookshare and was the only copy I could find, got it for a steal at $4.
But am running into a bit of a challenge. The right side page scans nice,
but the other page, the left side page, is not coming out. The scanner
calls it blank.
I have tried grayscale with 300 dpi, and shall try 400. My father says the
text is on the pages, but they are yellow. Which you would expect from a
book from 1938 I believe. Anyway.
What other settings can I try for this guy.
And It seems especially with our higher standards of quality these yellowed
pages, are getting harder and harder to scan and make perfect. I am editing
the First Lady of the Seeing eye, apparently the copy I had was in a fire
and has smoke damage or so my mom says. Many pages come out perfect but
some don't. I am getting good at guessing and filling in things that are
what I think they are. A ^ could be a th or what have you.
Sigh.
Amazing what a book could tell you.
