    Why not? I ALWAYS scan B&W material in B&W for my BallyAlley.com website. I'm not talking about grayscale pages with pictures, which I DO scan in grayscale. If a page is only text, then WHY NOT scan in B&W? You get a cleaner image and if you decide to print a page, then the printout is FAR, FAR superior than a grayscale printout.

     

     

    Hey there. sorry for not replying earlier.. Most everything that does not have color is Greysale, not B/W... A few times I have accidently scanned or converted to B/W looks terible in comparison... The greys are repaled but spacing black dots farther away based on the tint of grey.

  3. Holy!

     

    A BIG thanks!

     

    The StarRaider scan is F-UNREAL (!!!) The quality, the color saturation, the blacks, the detail, you name it... I went like WoOoOoW...

     

    May I ask: which scanner did you use?

     

    Truly appreciated.

     

     

    Thanks but don't be too impressed I ran it through a couple of small photoshop filters that I use on the BYTES to remove page bleed and it worked like magic on Star Raiders :)

     

    The scanner I use is a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510. This little guy has been a pleasure to use.. I've had the same scanner for the Antic, Analog, STart, Atari Comics, SoftSides, Atari Books, and BYTE scans and it still only rarely gives me a paper jam. I was getting some quirky noises a couple of months ago but after a deep clean they all went away and its working like a champ again.

     

    I scan everything at 300 DPI with compression set to as low as possible (almost zero) to PDF. The PDFs are then split into TIFF files and i run them through a couple of small photoshop filters based on if the are color and greyscale (never black and white). The tiffs are reassembled with a mid-range compression setting and then the OCR is allowed to align the pages..

  5. Greetings people.. I am in the midst of cleaning out closets/attics/crawl spaces and I am reducing my collecting "footprint" - though I am still on the first of three closets and have even touched the attic/crawl space so it is going to be a long process :)

     

    Anyway there is a lot of loose and duplicate documentation that I want to dispose of.. I am going to scan it before chucking it and as I do this I am going to post the PDFs in this thread.. Hopefully those that archive these things will grab them and insert them into the appropriate locations. I am sure much of it is useless or has already been scanned but I am not going to make any judgements :)


  6. Here are some old 8-bit programs. I don't think these ever came "boxed" and were from the baggie-cassette era of selling programs :)

     

    Six programs:

     

    Haunted-house and Trivia Unlimited are from Creative Software.. You can see they are in their baggies with docs and cassette.

     

    Original Adventure is a cassette also though I think originally there was no baggie - just shrink wrap around the docs with the cassette inside. I have the cassette and docs wrapped in a DVD wrapper.

     

    Mega-legs - Very rare,I picked up a few when I bought a large lot of Softside Magazines.. A very good centipede clone from Dubno. There are two of these.

     

    Acey-Duecy - another baggie cassette.. From L&S Computerware.. I've never opened it which is too bad I would have liked to scan the instructions.

     

     

    Anyway entertaining offers on one/some/all ..
