Thanks for the scanning tips, y'all.
No I'm not a Southerner, but was borned in Virginia. And y'all is so folksy,
no? <g>
I had another question for y'all ---
What do any of you folks do to scan things that require larger scanning
surface than the typical scanner? My Epson 1660 Perfection has a 12 x 8.75
glass surface. I have numerous things I wish to scan, like books that 12 by
12 inches.
Right now I a book I badly want to read. It is out of print and I purchased
it through a used book seller. Its page surface is 9 by 12 inches. I could
actually do it easily if it weren't for the fact that the margins are pretty
close to the binding side of each page and it will lop off characters or
words.
Some of you mention using the Kurzweil? Do they still have that machine
with the glass right to the edge? I always wished I could have had one of
those. But even then I still am hoping to find a way to scan the 12 by 12
and other larger size printed pages.
Thanks.
Rik

images?
Openbook isn't so hot for handling photos. That said, I have found
that darkening the page in the contrast settings sometimes helps. It
can also help bunches and bunches if you turn on color scanning, turn
on the despeckle setting, and set the DPI to 400. The DPI setting
seems to be the most important of these. Please be aware that this
will slow down your scans a bit.
