the 3600 works well with automatic set in open book but I don't know about
contrast. version 9 does things a little differently.

Hi Lary and list. I heard a nasty roomer that the opticbook 3600 does not
honor contrast changes in openbook, anyone willing to put it to the test? I
don't have it installed myself so, any takers?

I had both Pearl and a plustek opticbook 3600 and open book works
beautifully with the plustek.

I don't have a flatbed scanner. That's why I was trying to determine if it
is the way the Pearl takes images or if it's a problem with the processing
in Openbook.

Have you compared these results with those of a typical flatbed?

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about scanning
I have been a volunteer in the past for validating books, but I just got a
copy of Openbook 9 and the Pearl camera and would like to contribute
scanning books if I can. I am wondering if anyone else uses this setup, as
the few books I've tried to scan from my public library came out less than
adequate. A couple were cookbooks, but a couple were books of short stories.
I am getting a lot of garbage at the top and bottom of pages, and some
things just won't recognize. I've made sure the books are lined up with the
edge of the Pearl camera stand, and that the camera light is enabled, but
the scans I'm getting just aren't that impressive. If anyone has any ideas
of what I can change in Openbook for optimal results, or has any other
suggestions I would really appreciate them. Thank you.
