Scanning of Kajimura Market's A•O•L is done. Cleaning is underway.

After scanning though, I noticed that the two 2-page spreads? They're not the kind that will match up well.

So I decided to say, fork it.

I'll just leave the 2-page spreads as separates.

Just so you know. :|b

I hate the spreads like that

you *want* them to match but noooo

Yeah. The crease just eats too much. :V

In the meanwhile, still need to finish scanning the rest of Alfine Prism 2, and the first fourth of Last Distance Chuuhen is transcribed.

And the scanner is really, really puttering out on me. It died at least five times while I was scanning like... 26 pages.

speaking of chuuhen I was thinking of just rescanning it all to give myself something to do.

Okay!

I hope the spine doesn't give on you. orz

I think it should hold

600dpi was okay right>

?

Yeah.

800 is overkill.

okay, good xD

/stares at this plurk like a creeper

we should probably check the 4th book too, idk if those scans are okay or if they also need a higher dpi.

If you've got some kind of black backing to use, that'd be awesome. And try to curb crease gutter as much as possible. :|b

yeah, generally I try to avoid the gutter as much as possible

/nodsnods

If in doubt, uhhh.

but with larger books it ends up being a toss between gutter and book-breaking ~_~;

HACK OFF THE BLURRY SECTIONS BEFORE I GET TO SEE THEM 8D

xD

Because if you hack them off before I see them, I can't be all WAHHHHH BLURRINESS! or anything. XDDDD

well I've been trying to teach myself to fix the shadow but it is a fine, fine art.

Yeah. I'm pretty good at getting rid of the gutter shadows themselves, but blurriness left behind by the curve of the spine just

makes me go like this.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD8

And then I wind up crazily scanning the page over and over again, even if the only thing that's blurry is a stupid piece of background.

/kicks OCD tendencies

sob. damn you doujin.

why can't you all be stapled

I have a couple books with ring binding. XD

speaking of which I'll be at a con this weekend, should I keep an eye out for anything good

Hmmmmmm.

I don't know how cons are stocked these days... I haven't been to one in yeras.

years, even.

/will have a look |D

8Db

I think I'll start saving for a new scanner for real.

I keep saying I will, but. >,>

This is getting pretty bad. orz

you'll have to rely on other scans mwahaha

Alrighty, el capitan

I can look into actually getting a scanner for us.

Something similar to what we have but not ancient.

That would be shiny.
