Magazine i got a few

[bugsthor]

hey HOL and all , blow it i`m off to get them all out lol. and take a picture for your MAG PRON collection , be back in half hour , with a list.
i got a selection of magz

Amiga Format and cover disks
ACE (might have disks)
Amiga Action (might have Covers disks)

was perusing your magazines the other day and i noticed there was pages missing, maybe it was just me but i double checked. and got my own mag of that number and it seems so.

now the thing is before i start scanning these babies for you, i need to go through the HOL to see which ones of say Amiga Format are missing, as i have about 20 or more of these.

I have :-
ACE
33 JUNE 1990

42 MARCH 1991
43 APRIL 19191

[Codetapper]

We have a reasonably complete set of Amiga Format and ACE page scans - however the Amiga Action ones are a lot more rare so if you have anything we don't have, that would be fantastic.

Amiga Action audit of missing data

[kriz]

I feel almost every issue miss alot still!! Adverts, serious, software/hardware reviews and so on...

[Codetapper]

We have them, but haven't necessarily scanned all the junk.

Galaxy and I scanned the majority of the Amiga Format and Amiga Action issues and we scan each page, rotate it, clean it up etc and so couldn't be bothered with the non editorial content. Most of the collections on the net are rough scans that aren't straight, have extra bits or bits cut off, old yellowing colour not fixed etc.

Who reads ads for Software Hut in every mag, 6 page spreads of Gordon Houghton Computers etc?

I do.

[bugsthor]

sorry got side tracked, reading them lol. i got mags from 1989 AF to 1995. complete years 1991.1992.1993.1994
amiga action, with the blues brothers on the cover, november 1991 #026

9 Amiga computing
5 ACE
i got a few of those mini booklets aswell you get on the covers, and the disks for that matter.
and since i`m about to sell my box games, ill see if you or lemon have them or not, to scan them too, all with the manuals, real A PRON

[Codetapper]

Galaxy appears to have scanned almost all the editorial stuff from Amiga Action November 1991. What's missing apart from ads? If there are any editorial pages missing and you want to scan them, we'll take them.

[kriz]

I want all of the pages, its alot missing still!! I think they should be scanned in their complete.

[Codetapper]

There is nothing stopping you from scanning the entire mags.

I do however get sick of people that expect ME to scan all this junk when I have clearly stated why I don't scan. I bet if I added a page view counter to the ad pages you'd find almost none of them have been read ever!

[bugsthor]

well what i will do, when i have the time.

scan the pages that are not done, as galaxy and codetapper have done most of the hard work already, and probably some others to along the way.

that way everyones happy, because i cant see that many pages missing from each of the issues anyways.

[bugsthor]

do want want these ones
could`nt see them in your files

[Codetapper]

We've only got the cover scanned of the Amiga Format special so if you want to scan the whole thing, go for it. The other one is a small add on mag that's probably attached as an extra to whatever issue it came with.

[kriz]

i love the work you have done codetapper for this anf all the other stuff you been involved in !!! I will try to get some scanned from me also, got some issues around here.

[bugsthor]

ok codetapper , i`ll do those scans today since i got to wait in for a gas man

got a few others your missing aswell, but 1st things first, time consuming is`nt it lol.

i`ll even do the advert pages since everyone likes them so much (ACCEPT CODETAPPER ) LOL.

[Codetapper]

I can't wait for scans such as this ad for softsellers. They are really great reading and it's so hard to take the magazine seriously without it!

[bugsthor]

where do i send these to anyways. want them zipped up.
i`ll send the first few pages i`ve done, and if they are the qaulity you want i`ll carry on the same way.

[Codetapper]

Upload them to the HOL FTP server in a folder of your choice.

Please don't zip them though, just upload the JPGs as I can move them if they're JPG rather than having to download, uncompress and re-upload. If they are named 001.jpg etc that saves time, but as long as the last 3 digits are the page number they can be batch renamed to the required AMR format.

[bugsthor]

after searching for half hour, i cannot find the any HOL ftp ,user pass

[bugsthor]

ok uploaded to josh Folder the first 5 ive done. there in their own folder, just the way my HP does it ggrr, anoying it is

well give it a few minutes there about 2mb each so it take a little time

[Codetapper]

I'm a bit confused by the uploads. Each of the 5 pages has a 2Mb JPG file, and with it is a 10-30Mb BMP file? Why are you uploading BMPs? Can I delete those? And why can't you just upload the individual JPGs into a single folder?

Some of the pages are a bit blurry too - usually you get that near the spine but for example page 5 on the right hand side should not be as that is not the spine. Are you holding the magazine down when you scan it (as you need to!)

[bugsthor]

sorry about that, photoshop or the scanner auto put each scan into its own folder in bmp format did`nt realise it was 30mb till i uploaded sorry, so ill cut that out from now on, i realised page 5 was blurry but, i have the power to re-scan
its the only page i did`nt hold down, and the mini screen on my printer/scanner gets in the way alittle, but yeah just before i went for it i though i would get your opinion on the ones i did first. i`ll finish the mag off tomorrow for you in jpg and one folder with no bmp

[Codetapper]

Apart from the blurry page 5 they're fine and I can put them online. But it will take me forever unless you can upload them all in a single folder!

[bugsthor]

ill do that ,i will upload them all for you tomorrow night time, becuase of our time difference, im nearly going to bed when your getting up. or the other way round lol.
so to make it easy for you ill upload them all togther

[bugsthor]

sorry its taking me a little longer than expected, did 90 pages yesterday including those saut after advert pages. and numpty me pressed one button on my all in one and lost 60 pages without realizing it, which right pee`d me off. numberd them as you need 001 the i had left.
I will do them again tongiht from front page to back the ones missing so you will have all of them, i`ll check them in photoshop to straighten some out and any touch ups if needed for you.
got to admit though the scans are prity good at 300dpi,and not many wonky

[bugsthor]

uploading all 132 front to back , with the ever so important advert pages ^^ with no real info.

any your not happy with let me know.

Also been looking at your missing stuff and i think i have one or two of them also. and those mini books you get. one or two books.
would anyone be interested in a PDF version for down load !

[Codetapper]

I have kept the page 1 we had as it was much more clear and sharp. Page 17 has not scanned correctly. The pages you have uploaded are online, most of them are ads!

[bugsthor]

glad nearly all are good, re-doing page 17 now for you, it auto cut the pics from the top of page.
i am also uploading issue 40 NOV 1992 pages that are missing 197 to 248

special edition 1993
if your interested, i think these are taking a liberty on price/s. but its there originals . if he gets 5.99 or 7.99 i`m selling my lot lol
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-...item1c2629c6e3

do i get put on this list now
http://hol.abime.net/hol_team.php

ENJOY the adds

[bugsthor]

i forgot to mention it i got this aswell

http://amr.abime.net/issue_2596 which you have not got , nahnah nah ..Nah Nah

[Codetapper]

That one would be interesting. None of the team has it listed in their collection but we must have got the cover scan from somewhere!

[rampartsagain]

well maybe i am in the right place.
i created a post some times ago as my user waiting validation account ,does any one knows of a demo that had faces morphing into animals like lions and stuff does anyone remembers it,if so can anyone post in the zone ?
many thanks

[bugsthor]

that was on youtubes a quite awhile ago i seen that vid RAMPARTs

i`ll start to scan that book today, but it will take time there is 170 pages, some with little black and white pics.
Unfortunatly CodeTapper there is no advert pages which we love so much with usefull info on prices and stuff

i`ll do what i did before, scan a few pages and see if you like the qaulity 1st.

i might even hhmm idea!!

[Codetapper]

Even if the quality isn't great I'll take them since we have nothing! As long as you can read the text, she'll be right...

[bugsthor]

ok then codetapper,
starting my scans, what about these

[Codetapper]

Some of those are oversized so if you've only got an A4 scanner I wouldn't bother.

Many of those Amiga Format freebies are already in AMR, under the extras button for the issue they came with. eg. the one with the Jeans, I'm sure we have that fully scanned. I have it here somewhere (and an A3 scanner at work anyway)

Just do a check to ensure we don't already have those little books scanned to save your time - really have to match the issue it came with.

[bugsthor]

been experimenting with the scanning of documents, i think i got it sussed
looks good but my GOD it`ll take me the best part of a few hours lol,

it still only goes to page 28, i uploaded all of them yesterday codetapper

[rampartsagain]
