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 just takes the pixel values and rotates them
90/180/270 degrees.  This way you aren't at the mercy of the scanner or some
kind soul to re-scan the images that you already have.

(If you are looking for volunteers, just ask and I'll do a couple so you can
see the results).

Woohoo!  First to Post!  ;)

I just uploaded some items to brickshelf.com, and I wanted to know what • people
thought of my scanning technique.  The four most recent additions are • mine.

The three sets were scanned in at either 75(most likely) or 100 dpi, • while the
Birthday surprise was scanned in at 100 dpi.  All had the 'Descreen' set • to
'Magazine(133 lpi)'.  Does anyone see anything I can improve upon? • Thanks!

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 (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.scans)
