RAW Scans

This is a place for those members who wish to contribute but either don't have the photo editing software or skills to correct scanned covers.

Before we go onto the rules a couple of tips first.

Always before scanning make sure the scanner bed is clean and dust free. Your local £ or $ store should have glass wipes that contain Isopropyl Alcohol which are ideal for this.

Don't rely on the scanner lid to flatten the cover enough. You need something heavy on it. A ream pack of A4 paper or similar will do the job.

Now you are ready to go here are the rules.


UPLOADERS


Start a new topic for your scan.

All scans MUST be at 1200dpi minimum initially then reduced to 600dpi for upload.

All scans MUST cover an area greater than the cover even if it's only a few pixels. (A scanners autocrop tends to get it wrong).

All scans MUST be uploaded as a RAR file. (If you have a problem with this pm me).


DOWNLOADERS..

Anyone can download a scan to work on it but you MUST lay claim to it in the thread.This is to prevent duplication of work. You will then have 14 days to upload the reworked scan or it will be offered again to other members.

Anyone consistently downloading scans and not uploading corrected work will have their download rights removed.

When you upload a corrected scan you MUST give the scanner credit in the comments section as per the example below or similar.(click to enlarge).

There will be cases where the scan is just not good enough maybe due to the scanner itself not being up to the job.

The Admin and Mods reserve the right to remove any scan if this is the case. We are a good bunch and would contact the scanner. ;)
