1880, it's interesting you would adjust the hues and saturation, because that's what I've been doing in scanning my pre-war cards. I have a Canoscan 8400F, and I've been using the included software, then slightly tweaking the card in Photoshop. I'd completely forgotten that you could use Photoshop to scan without any second software, so I did some scans using the Photoshop input option. It loads the twain software, does its thing, and I've found the cards actually look better. So, that raises another question for me in regard to the auction houses. Are they using the software included with their scanners, or a professional photo-editing software to do them. They're (hopefully) going to have top of the line scanners as the pictures of the items they are consigning directly impact their sales, and bottom line. I'd be very interested to see a list of the major houses, and what scanner/software combinations they use.
Wouldn't it be nice if REA, Herritage and the other major houses could get together, and decide on some sort of standard?
