February 18, 200520 yr Two tips, avadakedavra. Number 1 - do not be afraid of ripping your magazines up. The pages you wish to keep can be stored in manila folders and kept safe from wear and tear. Scanning the individual page makes it MUCH easier to... well... scan.Secondly, it looks like your scanner is set to scan photos, not magazine pages. Fiddle around and see if you can find the option for magazine or art pages... most programs have them. My scanner, prior to my new one, was $60 dollars. You -can- do good work with a cheap scanner. Make it work for you!I just don't like tearing up magazines, lol but thanks Nine. I need to fight with my scanner anyway. It only works when it feels like it for reasons I don't even pretend to understand.
February 18, 200520 yr Author Nice stuff avada, did you pick this up from ebay not too long ago? I saw one for sale not too long ago, I was thinking of bidding, but I ended up spending the money on some food or something. Nine mentioned the manila folders to put the pages in, also I find that sheet protectors work well too, they are plastic, and fit in three ring binders. Of course some pages are too big, but for the ones that aren't it's a good option. But that's for me, I have no problem ripping my magazines all to hell.
February 18, 200520 yr all the mags i have are in mint condition and i rip them apart.. its just wrong
February 18, 200520 yr If I want to scan images I usually buy two of the same magazine and I cut one up while saving the other.
February 18, 200520 yr I do the same, Lullaby. But with this one being as rare as it is, I may not have a choice lol
February 18, 200520 yr I should be getting a couple other magazines in the next couple of days. If I can get my scanner fixed ( or rather the settings ), I'll scan those too. I think think I have an Elle and a Vogue coming. Those I can probably chop apart. ( I'm leery of doing the Audi one because it's so rare <_< )
February 18, 200520 yr I got really really bored so I pieced the two parter together and fixed it a little. Obviously left the tags on it lol did a little compensation for the magazine fold. since there was a chunk of it missing ( Which is why there's a space between the words. Usually that's in the binding. And I took print classes for far to long.... ) Nice job. Thanks!
February 18, 200520 yr I recieved the 2000, March edition of Audi today, and have set to scanning it. Here's the cover. I'll try putting the two pagers together when I get to them.( the quality is 'eh' but there's nothing i can do about that with a 60 dollar scanner ) Cover From Table of Contents Editorial very nice
February 27, 200520 yr Author This is the editorial from the March/April 2003 Issue of The Fader magazine, the original scanner named the pictures Feb/March for the issue but that's wrong. If your interested in getting the issue, you can go here
