scan quality

Belgarath · 01 January 2003, 14:02

ok to cheer interceptor up here's a new thread!

i was going to wait until i saw fiath but he's never around when you want him

i've scanned Monkey Island 2 at 300dpi 0% compression, but i think they are going to have to be saved with some jpg compression because the total size of the scans is 72.2mb...

so should i resave em them and if so at what level? or do you want me to upload them as is and you take care of the compression?

In Photo$hop, even at level 7 (of 10), the artifacting is so minimal, you'll not likely notice the noise. Anything between 7 and 10 will produce a good image.

Please wait with any kind of compression until Fiath is back.
Thank you.

I will post a sticky thread up until we find time to post these on the site...

It will appear in the CAPS forum...

fiath · 02 January 2003, 13:21

Err, I added some stuff to it...

Belgarath · 02 January 2003, 16:11

ok i've reprocessed the images, comes upto 28.8mb now
do i upload them to the ftp and is there any special rules on what directory names should be created etc etc

fiath · 02 January 2003, 16:16

What do you mean by "reprocessed" ?

Belgarath · 02 January 2003, 16:23

as i said they were saved at 0 compression, so i've just re-saved them at 90% quality 10% compression, nothing to worry about

Great!

I have the same with F/A 18 Interceptor (actually, probably 3 copies), so I don't mind pulling one apart, well actually I would do it anyway, but I actually don't mind because of this.

I will d/l as soon as I can.

Interceptor · 02 January 2003, 17:50

so do we get a little codewheel browser application then? or do we have to get handy with the printer and stanley knife?

fiath · 02 January 2003, 18:05

Same with the frontend situation I think, at least for now. Basically, we have to wait until somebody writes one... I would like to write them, but I am far to busy now - and not really CAPS stuff.

BUT, Akira did I lovely MI2 code wheel application in Flash, which is on a thread on the EAB somewhere... I guess for now, we have to do with that...

This one just calls for a 3d frontend to rotate the 2 layers on each other.
Until then just the way you described.

fiath · 04 January 2003, 07:05

Okay the MI2 scans are great, but not *quite* there. I have sent you a mail about it Belgarath!

BippyM · 14 January 2003, 22:12

Hi Fiath,

I have emailed you guys about some scanning,

Well I have almost finished doing F29-Retaliator and am starting Indy Jones 4 and Worms DC next (1 or the other).

Anyway what is the best way to scan a manual without damaging it?

The page numbers in the F29 manual get cut off, this is a manual problem, do you still want me to scan it?

Where do I send the scans once done? i am still awaiting a reply from the email!

fiath · 15 January 2003, 00:42

replying now

Twistin'Ghost · 15 January 2003, 01:00

Now here's some high quality TG scans:

fiath · 15 January 2003, 01:04

Very nice! But did you scan them at 300 dpi before you put them in HOL?

Come on guys, it can't be that much more effort to push that slider upto "300"...

Twistin'Ghost · 15 January 2003, 01:15

I scan *everything* at 300dpi and even when I reduce the size to 640x*, I keep it at 300dpi. And yes, I still have the full-size versions. I didn't have time to scan the full manual yet, but I can do that this weekend for y'all. Do you guys have this game yet?
