Hi Elizabeth!

Thanks for your thoughts and encouragement--you've made me feel better. I 
think you hit the nail on the head that it's a "brightness setting" issue.

Believe me, I know that my scans are not perfect, but I do look at each page 
before I submit a book and, for sure, I do a spell check. that's why this 
situation upsets me. Because I scan and submit, both, I'm not asking anyone 
to do anything I don't do myself.

To all you new volunteers: Don't be intimidated by my earlier post. We all 
have to learn and begin somewhere, but I happen to know that this book was 
not submitted by a new volunteer.

Blessings.

Lynnsky

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] scanos brightness settings and rejecting a book


If you have access to rank spelling, it may make it easier for you to
correct such pattern errors.
There is a first time for any validator to reject a book. Anybody who
has this many scanos in a book given the good software which is out
these days ought to at least get a note saying the book was full of
scanos and to check their brightness settings in future.
Sometimes such a note is not enough.
I had to reject several submits by the same submitter before she
realized I was serious about her submitting books where brightness
setting is correct and scanos thus reduced.
Remember there is a first time for everything so if you have to
reject just be brave and explain what you are doing in case the
submitter is interested.
