German stamp identification?

Hi Rodney:
OK I'm awake again. There is no way to adjust the resolution on my
Epson. There are 5 choices Draft, Text, Text & Images, Photo and best
Photo. Mine is set for Text which must be the default setting since I
have never looked at it before. In other words my scannerr is idiot
proof.

Thanks T,
what impressed me was the clarity at 220 Kb
a very nice mix indeed sir, for a *.jpg.
Possibly, the perfect mix for an e album.

I am a great supporter of idiot proof engines
the cynosure is on stamps, and their presentation
rather than the perifery.
I am still not happy with my "Epson Perfection"
If you happen to read this, can you offer advice
if your model Epson offers multiple scans from
the single button press?
(one just marks each stamp image by a carousel,
and the machine makes multiple passes)
and........if the scanner offers "auto rotate alignment".
(still a burr under my saddle, I need to scratch)

I will in the meantime, Google for the info.

Noel.
Rodney

Hello,

I think there was a little mistake in my description of the clerk's job:

2000 4000 (6000) (8000) (10000) (12000) (14000) ... (20000)

200 200 sold sold sold sold sold sold
200 200 sold .....
200 200 sold
200 200 sold
200 200 sold
200 200 sold
200 200 sold
200 200 sold
200 200 200
200 200 200
200 200 200

The clerk always sold the stamps of a bow row for row from TOP to DOWN
and from right to left.
After day's work he could count in this example: 3 x 200 + 4000 = 4600
M.


Regards

Peter

Good day Sir Rodney,

I use an Epson perfection 2580 Photo -scanner, professional mode, 300 dpi,
original size 1:1; the results are very fine pictures of 50 kb to 75 kb. You
can regocnize any detail you want.

best regards and fine days for You

Just out of curiosity, Gerhard: a single stamp scanned 1:1 on my Canon at
300 dpi and saved *uncompressed* comes to:
110 - 130 kb as a gif; 130 -150 kb as a jpg; and 350 - 380 kb as a png. How
do you get it down to 50-70 kb? Do you compress? Thanks in advance.

Noel, Gerhard.
I have the Epson perfection 1670
I use 300dpi "professional mode" and mine come out at
around 220Kb.
When I rotate and crop, the image balloons to about 600Kb
so I have to "adjust" via ACDSee to bring it to heel at 200Kb.

Gerhard, does your model "auto rotate" the scan?
I find this lack of software to be utterly frustrating.
Oherwise this scanner would suit reasonably well, however
I do find it hogs memory, and on occaisions after a
large job lot, have to do a cold reboot.

May your new years resolutions be reasonable
Rodney

Hi again Sir Rodney and and Tony,

I forgot to mention, that i scan only with 24 Bit colour and not with 48 Bit
colour :-).
So the scans are essentially smaller and You need no compression. I only
scan to .jpg.

As Sir Rodney wrote, the rotation problem is the same here, so You have to
put the stamp correctly on the scanner glass (head of the stamp parallel to
the left site of the scanner). Otherwise You have to rotate and get 300 kb
or more.

Try it :-) In my humble opinion 24 Bit colour is more than enough for a
stamp scan.

best regards

Gerhard

Some more information:

24 Bit colour depth means 16.7 Millions of different colours can be shown.

..jpg- pictures cannot show more than these 16.7 different colours; only
special picture-formats like .tif are able to work with more than 24 Bit
colour depth.

take a look at wikipedia:

best regards

Gerhard

G'day Gerhard,
I just checked my scanner, it had indeed been defaulted
to scan at 24 Bit as you recommend.
