![]() #Xnconvert pdf pdfMy second question is, once I have neat clean images, is there a free program that I can use to make pdf documents out of these Jpeg or Tiff images, I am sure there are several but I am hoping for a recommendation for a easy to use program. These "mixed" images do look very good when printed however. If I can’t find a better solution I may go with this though. Scan Taylor does have a mixed option which makes the text black and white and the images color/greyscale, this is close to what I would like but, and perhaps I am being fussy, I don’t like leaving color images in a black and white page it looks funky and black and white seems to make the text look quite “narrow” or to put it another way, obviously retouched. I came to the realisation also that one drawback of Scan Taylor is that it has only one color/greyscale option, for me it would be ideal if I could convert them to non color greyscale in Scan Taylor but that shouldn’t matter so long as I can find another program to do it. If I want to get rid of the dark background I think I need to do some work with contrast, color and sharpness of the images, because all of the images were made in an identical lighting situation I am looking for a free program that will batch process the entire book in much the same way that Scan Taylor does. #Xnconvert pdf trialThe book that I copied via camera is not quite as good, the pages have a noticeably darkish background that shows up if I print the page, the text isn’t quite as crisp or clear but I am basically happy with the text, the text could be sharpened a bit, when I took the photos I mounted the camera on a tripod, set up 3 separate lights from slightly different angles and selected the best settings on the camera from trial and error. I am very happy with how this has turned out. ![]() ![]() I have now come to compare the one I have made with the camera with the one I have scanned, the scanned one is crisp and clean with nice white pages, there are some images in the pages so I scanned them greyscale, black and white tends to destroy the pictures. Some of these fit on my scanner, others which might be destroyed by flattening them on the scanner are being carefully photographed.Īfter scanning or photo taking, I am processing the images with Scan Taylor, I had a bit of a learning curve with the program but I have come to love it, very easy to work with and once you learn the ropes it is quite quick to process a batch of images. Hi Everyone, I am very new to book scanning, I am currently learning the ropes scanning a few old engineering/ woodworking books. ![]()
