Awesome!
I've been eyeing issues of PC Engine Fan on ebay recently, wanting to see more of it. Thanks a bunch! : D

:)  Nice!  More more more...  heehee..  I so greedy....

Looking through it, man, I could buy an issue just for the images alone <3

The scans look very professional by the way, how did you scan it? Cutting out all pages and then scanning them one by one or something? :p

Thanks for sharing ;)

Awesome!  Thanks!  Downloading it now.

Yeah, what's your secret for these perfect scans? I have about 3-4 PCE FAN mags that I'd like to contribute as well.

Nice!

EDIT: Link doesn't work. :(

Wow that was a quick down by Zshare. Re-upped to mediafire

My secret is hours of messing around ;-) LOL.  I tested different clean-ups, recolouring and sharpening etc. however in the end I got the best results by doing the minimal.  During testing a de-speckle did make the images look cleaner however I forgot to apply this to my batch job!


Preparations:

1) Picked a random magazine

2) I opened the staples and then carefully removed all of the pages.  This was not one of the bound spines magazines as a lot of the later ones are.

3) Made plenty of coffee :@)


Scanning:

I used a Canon LIDE 100 and the inbuilt scanner driver that comes with windows 7 set to:

500DPI: As the Windows driver does not perform de-screening 500 dpi reduces the crazing effect

TIFF file format: Each image was saved as a TIFF as you can perform multiple editing actions / saves to this file type with minimal/no quality loss.  Each page was around 60MB.

I used a piece of black card between the folded page to reduce bleeding from the reverse side of the page.


Once each page was scanned I used photoshop to:

* Rotate the pages to the correct orientation
* Straighten up the scans
* Crop the images to size

I then used a photoshop batch job to:

* Reduce the resolution to 300DPI
* Save as JPG (Quality Level 1 - Low)

Last but not least I then used Adobe Acrobat pro to create the PDF using the default settings.

Hey SuperPlay, I PM'd you :)

Downloading now and looking forward to later perusal.  Thanks, man!

...tittens. :)

I have a selection of 10 Mags without spines, I may put up a vote to see which one I should scan next.
