Dino Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I have tooth protectors, Wall defender, Jungle fever and Knight on Town. Unfortunately i don't have time ATM to scan (i've gotta do it at my work). but hopefully soon. HELL YEAH!!!! I'm super excited!!!! Don't worry if you can't get to it right away...I have waited a long time I can wait some more. I'm just happy that someone that has these is finaly going to step up and scan them for us. As a small token of my apperaciation, I would like to present you with these 1000 internets... Seriously, Thanks I no longer have the Jungle Fever/Knight on town, but the new owner will be posting scans here soon. You will get them faster this way than relying on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of programs let you select an area you want to crop with a box and then you simply choose crop. Even Paint can crop by selecting an area with a box, choosing cut, and pasting it on a new page. I don't understand what you mean by you are unable to crop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try not swiching to B&W mode (I saw that you said you had before you edited), I think that might be part of the problem...mabey not... Here is the current missing list. Only 3 missing!! (once Dino scans those 2) Bomb- Wall Defender ***Dino offered to scan*** DSD/Camelot- Tooth Protectors ***Dino offered to scan*** Exus- Video Jogger Video Reflex Gamex- X-Man Edited November 19, 2008 by user42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to only have the jagged effect using the scanner software,when i open up the native jpeg there is no jagged edges,so how can i crop the jpeg once i save it to my computer ?? also how can i get the manuals to be straight every time without adjusting them constantly.

Did you PM Pitfall Harry_de about the X-man instructions? Great, I'm not trying to rush you. As for X-Man, you said they were "rare PAL colour instructions". I think I've seen these scanned already (multi-language, right?). What I am really after are scans of the US manual. I even have scans of a photocopy of the US manual already, but I want scans of the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have to use a program that will let you select an area then cut it out (either cropping the picture, or cutting what you want out and pasting it somewhere else). There really is not much too it. Most programs that handle photos will let you do that. Getting them straight can be a bitch of a job. I'm presuming you're using a flat type of scanner here. I push the manual to the edge and close the cover carefully. Trying to line it up by just placing the manual in the middle of the screen is just too hard. You lift up the cover and it slides. You put the cover down and it slides. The bad thing about my cheap ass Lexmark is that it is *not* quite straight, and I have to often put a manual on an slight angle to scan it straight. There are programs that let you rotate an image, but I find they distort the image somewhat. I also use my Lexmark software to crop a picture. It doesn't have to be a picture I just scanned; it can be any picture I have on my hard drive. I just load it in, "select all", move the borders around the area I want, and click the scissors icon to crop my image. Nothing too it really. Hope this helps.

user42 Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 I do my edits in photoshop. But it's not really a beginner level program. If you have photoshop already I can give you instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pangasinan Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Ok i think i have worked it out ,what do you think,here is one of the foreign manuals,i use Picasa 3 to straighten it,it doesnt seem to have loss any quality.

Omegamatrix Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Doesn't look to bad to me. I've scanned lots of B&W Zellers instructions before, and they are printed crooked to begin with just like those. It looks like there is a crease on the 2nd scan though you can see the line where the letters faded. Other then that I think ya got it.

Thanks,believe it or not but where the letters fade on the second scan is not a fold but some sort of misprint on the instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
