(...) Consider yourself spurred. :^) I'd really like to see scans of it. As far as I know, 8856 is the only eligible Technic/Expert Builder set that isn't found at brickshelf. -Tim (26 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.db.scans)

(...) I have this set, and if sufficiently spurred on, I could probably scan it in and send it to brickshelf. I don't know if I've the time to do it though. Adrian -- (URL) (26 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.db.scans)

Anybody have instructions for the 8856 model? It looks like an interesting set, and I'd like to build it (I probably have all the right pieces from my collections). Brickshelf.com doesn't have it, thus the post here. Thanks. (26 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.db.scans)

(...) There is a program called jpegtran which will rotate JPEGs by any multiple of 90 degrees without decompressing the file, i.e. just by moving bits around in the jpg file. This means that there is _no_ loss in quality. But (there always is a (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.scans)

See if this makes sense. One of the options in Ember is to set the JPEG compression ratio. If you start with the JPEG image (suppose it's at 70%), then rotate it, then save it with a ratio of 100% (no compression), would that end up with a picture (...) (27 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.scans)

That sounds like a good idea BUT, When you start with a JPEG, do something (even lossless rotation), and recompress as JPEG you exaggerate the JPEG artifacts. This is why it's important for the original scanner to rotate/crop/size the images BEFORE (...) (27 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.scans)

Kevin, Have you ever thought about just rotating the scans you have? I use a Windows shareware program called Firehand Ember that allows you to rotate an image (GIF, JPG, BMP and others)with no noticeable image quality loss (amount other things). It (...)
