Best software for archiving stamps.

The only reason for scanning stamps that I own would be if I wanted to sell them. Stamp images in a printed or online catalog, though, are sometimes very helpful when trying to determine what the catalog number is for a stamp I own. If you're a specialst in a stamp or group, then you'd need to scan for plate ID and/or sheet position. All the early Us can be so identified and it's a major area in the Line Engraved of GB. With a scan record you don't have to mark the back of the stamp as much. With software you can embed the description into the image encoding [not visible - but as EXIF data] I'm sure some collectors have good reasons to scan some of their stamps. I don't, at least not yet. Bill |

I don't, at least not yet. Might I suggest that your valuable items would benefit from scanning for an insurance record? Especially those that are identifiable in some fashion, centering, slightly uneven perforations or other that could later prove they were yours before a theft ? |
