Apparently we're now part of a counterfeiting ring due to reading Cerebus.<br /><br />;)<br /><br />I don't know enough of the technical stuff to be able to comment in depth, but it's cool to have these posts available for people. Maybe some more B&W '80s indies can learn from this.

This is only for oversized original art scans, not for at sized materials.

If you can wait till next week, I...Hey Michael,<br /><br />If you can wait till next week, I'll give a thorough upscaling demonstration then. Trust me when I say I've tested a dozen variations, and I'm a very picky. I'd agree with you if we were talking about anything other than line art-- but scanning in color, upscaling, and then outputting at bitmap, it makes no difference, as long as certain conditions are met.<br /><br />Bicubic smoother, which I was using before, does indeed have some issues, specifically, it doesn't work if the scanning stage had sharpening applied, or if you enlarge too much, and additional softness is introduced into the scan. But Preserve Details is really something, at least, for this particular application.<br /><br />(For those who don't know, every doubling of resolution quadruples your scan time, hence talking about these issues. There's the additional hurdle of many scanner's "higher res" settings being so optically soft that you might as well have upscaled in the first place.)Sean Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09794186823194520775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-73794261660303767662014-10-29T20:38:04.356-05:002014-10-29T20:38:04.356-05:00I don't understand why upscaling is even being...I don't understand why upscaling is even being talked about. You can't upscale without introducing artifacts. Period. Please take the extra time to scan at a higher resolution.<br /><br />Michael<br /><br />Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2837001751311078781.post-32199392926917766412014-10-29T20:09:22.334-05:002014-10-29T20:09:22.334-05:00A counterfeit genius.
