Scanner Recommendations

Anyone have some advise on how to get both the front and back of a card to appear to be in one scan? Thanks.

Used to do it on ebay, just take your scans, copy the back scan and increase the "paper size" in your photo editor and paste the back scan next to the front scan.

I'm a Cannon CanoScan 9000F MarkII user. I've only used it at it's default settings since it was perfect. Only thing I change is the DPI for large scans or close-ups. Haven't tried a chrome, metallic, refractor card yet but I'll fool around with it and see if there's a happy setting for them.

I've been using this for a while now - works great - requests a donation only if you use/like it.

To those with a Canon scanner - What app/software are you using to actually operate the scanner - take the scan?

I use Ransen Software and love it. It automatically crops, straightens, scans 6 cards at once and will automatically put borders (your choice of color and thickness) on each scan.

I just use the Canon driver software Canon IJ Scan Utility. I don't use any of the Canon provided programs. In Advanced Mode, I just preview the scan, adjust scan area, and scan. If it's a high DPI and I'm not sure what the true output size will be, I just open the scan in basic Microsoft Paint. It doesn't automatically resize it to fit your monitor like other programs do. No need to adjust colors or touch up an area so those other programs are unneeded. Crop it in the Preview, and then Scan.
