Well, touching up a scan is not as difficult as it seems. But If you want to do a good job, then you're right, it takes some time. I work on every scan I do and I do a lot of scanning, even though just for fun.

If the box scanning team is ok with the extra work, I think it's nice to retouch.
But it's only an opinion. BTW I'd give my life to get my hands on the free Fire & Ice poster I lost long, long ago! |

I believe they should look as close to original "sale" copy as possible.. why?!?!? well why show a duffed up old knackered box.. it looks cheap and amateurish!!
I'm not saying fix a knackered box, but scan a perfect box, and if one isn't available then somebody with some proper talent in this area could touch them up! @Antiriad That looks really good.. I need to learn some of this shit... no really!! |

Well suffice to say, i now feel enough moral support to carry on.
Im nearing the end of my scans as my collection isnt the largest, but id happily love to "restore" (rather than "airbrush" which sounds rather Stalinesque) other peoples scans if they so request. Oh, and Mr Softy? My copy of Fire & Ice still has that poster! I could try to scan it in if ya want! Bit big tho... |

In Photoshop, one can check the black levels of a pic just by moving the mouse over an image and checking the color values. |

I reckon touch them up, but only if you know what you're doing!
(If you have Photoshop the cloning stamp is your friend...) The best touch ups are the ones you don't notice. |
