It has Auto-Separate, Auto-Crop & Auto-Rotate. Major auction house, stamp dealers & even the Smothsonian use it for their imaging projects. Imagine taking 50 stamps & scanning them all at one. Then with one click, have EzImage separate, rotate & crop them for you. EzImage was reviewed in Linns by Bill Sharpe. You can get a free demo to try from my site at http://www.ezstamp.com I will be glad to answer any questions regards Marios |

(you cannot do this with an initial scan then cropping) I can scan up to say 40 stamps, with one click or, scan one tiny stamp, adjust the resolution, then scan a very large item. The (lack of) "auto rotate" is the only blight in the Seiko software. Although I have not tried it, I seem to remember my HP has the capability of recognizing more than 1 item on the screen (scan) and then selecting them all. I still have a "logic" problem with all of this - lack of control and some may slip by in less than ideal condition. Hmmm... that all said, my scanners go back to WindoZe '98 era. My HP 5 glass is still in near mint condition, even after scanning 1,000s of items. It uses an old SCSI card! hehehehehehehe... I also have a Visioneer OneTouch USB scanner that I hooked up while re-adjusting the PC that the HP is hooked to. That's pretty much what that PC does - scans and I have my microscope hooked to it.

(you cannot do this with an initial scan then cropping) Incorrect ... Whatever resolution you scanned with will be preserved when you sub-crop -=UNLESS=- you direct the software to alter, by resizing or embedding a different PPI for your printer. In any case, lacking resizing (resampling) the pixels will remain the same pre/post crop! Definitely a sign of great software, such as Photoshop. The miniscule changes one can make are amazing. It does an excellent job when resizing. A friend was over and was discussing Corel Draw today. Each of us has our own preferences, exposure and learning curve. Fortunately, I had the chance to use PhotoShop in a college setting and I may get .05 % of what it can do. It's a monster! For "red eye", pixel regeneration (fix those nasty wasty photos!) and many other things it's the cat's meow. |

Hi Tony,
if you scan a page of stamps, when you start the Auto-separate process, you can set the # of pixels to add as a border to each separated image as well as the colour of border. regards MArios -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Developers of EzStamp, AlbumGen, EzGrader & PCVU Email: OR Websites: http://www.ezstamp.com http://www.stamptools.com/ http://www.pcvu.com wrote in message ...

There's -=NO=- change of proportion or 'alignment' -=within=- the image. regards marios PS: There is nothing amteur about EzImage. I invite you to try it fo yourself . There is, -=IF=- you choose to misuse graphics terminology! Pass, too big to bother DL'ing. The reference to deskewing at http://www.codeproject.com/useritems... lect=1465148 sure looks like rotation to me. I think you could consider that the terms skew and rotation are closely related, if not identical. The open source graphics program, GIMP, has a "corrective rotation" command that will bring a rotated stamp image back into horizontal and vertical alignment. It works on only one image at a time, though. If I remember correctly, Marios' program will "deskew" multiple stamp images at the same time. Bill |
