Re-scanned my Mantle and Mays using different settings.
600 DPI, brightness 35, contrast 25 Much better! Still going to play though as I think Mick's borders aren't that dark in hand. |

Solo Mays-2
Resolution=600 Brightness=55 Contrast=30 I do have a plastic sleeve in both holders on both cards. The sleeves were too big for the holders so I cut down the sides so they would fit in the holders. That is the line and other anomalies you see across both top borders and possibly elsewhere? I am happy with how I got them looking but I will continue to play,,,,,,,,,, just not tonight. |
They look good but I almost never play with any settings on my flatbed scanner. Neutral settings seem best...

I am still not 100% happy with what I have posted above as they still look off somewhat compared to what they look like in hand imo. On pg 10, post #96, are the scans of both cards using the default settings. These cards and the other cards I have posted since joining, using the default settings, make my cards look a lot worse than what they actually are. Still not done playing so hopefully I can find the settings that make them more realistic looking, but if not, then I'll have to settle with the some of the settings I have used above. http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...222292&page=10 |

Default settings. Different, newer card
Res=200 Brightness=0 Contrast-0 Edit: Just proved, imo, that my default settings make my cards look grayer than they actually are. |
Still playing.
