Default reprint?

Posted By: runscott

I had an e93 Wagner that I scanned and changed the dimensions on the scan about six different ways. Each time the result was different - it was purely a function of how the software re-interpreted the colors/patterns of pixels combinations in order to reproduce the image in a different size. Sometimes that meant cross-hatches, sometimes something different.

The best way to combat this problem is to scan the item at the resolution that will produce the exact size image you plan to use in your auction, then upload the image to a web-site and include a link in your ebay posting - I can send html code for this if anyone needs it.

And I have no doubt that a "pure" scan of a real T3 would look different than a pure scan of a reprint - I have some of the reprints, as well as real ones.
