Because we may re-scan these maps (Books 9-18) in the future, we may need to re-alter these labels (Books 10, 12, 14, and 16) so I've created a small wiki page as a reminder of what will need fixing: http://www.projectaon.org/en/Errata/MapCorrections>
Slightly more technical info: The conversion from JPG -> PNG was straightforward enough. Ran the images through the JPEG Artefact Remover facility in Corel Paint Shop Pro 10, then used Edge Preserving Smooth on a very low level to just cover over any blotches left behind.
IMO the quality of the converted images, while not as crystal-clear as a re-scan, are acceptable for use in any re-releases, so that shouldn't prevent us from re-releasing any of these books. For comparison:
