I have ~14 years of scanning and Photoshop experience (hobby). I have always been critical towards my scanning process. I strive to deliver quality and to better myself in areas I know little about (to achieve that quality). The fact is, true standout quality takes much experience, patience and time. I tend to "stop my creative online activities" if they become a treadmill for me. Then I like to take a big break from them, to think about how I can step up my scanning-quality. This blog must never become a treadmill for me. I am not looking for any widespread recognition, but I do however always appreciate a source link to my blog when my scans are posted elsewhere.
In August 2014, I wanted to take my scanning to the next level. I chose the large-format A3-scanner Plustek OpticPro A320 Flatbed-scanner (CCD) which is great for larger photobooks/magazines. I calibrated it with an IT8.7/2 Target (FUJIFILM Crystal Archive Paper) for a more consistent and higher color quality. I mostly scan in 600 DPI to uncompressed TIFF (Adobe RGB color). I do all restoration manually in Photoshop (cleaning, stitching, contrast/brightness/color adjustments, resizing/resampling to 96-150 DPI (much depending on quality of the source), saving to high 95% JPEG quality in sRGB color). My scans are far from perfect. I restore as much as time and patience allows. But, I always try to deliver a certain standard of consistent high quality scans. I urge you to stick around, if you enjoy NATURAL fem curves and forgotten 'hairy' fertility. ;)
Cheers and all the best,
