You don't need to know whether it's a brightness issue. Knowing the software or at least asking questions about using the software has to be the responsibility of the original submitter. What you describe seems to me to be someone not even interested enough in the book to do even cursory checks.

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

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.
Elizabeth
