Re: [ARSCLIST] Scanning LP covers



I've done them two ways:

cheep and long:

Splice FOUR images of 8.5x11 scans together in Photoshop

Fast and wonderful:

I have given up film. I now have a Nikon D100 that I use for almost all my
imaging, including slide scanning and album cover scanning. I do have the
AF 60mm f/2.8 and AF 105mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkors (for about a dozen or so
years, actually).

Cheers,

Richard

The digital camera with a photo stand probably is your best option.
The issue as you guessed is eliminating any glare and getting equal
illumination across the entire image. My father is writing a book with
many photos and illustrations and he has had great success with
this set-up, he is however using a conventio



nal Nikon F-series
not a digital camera.

Dear friends:

For a discographical project, I need to image several hundred LP
covers. I
currently own a flatbed scanner, but it can only take up to 8 1/2" x
11"
originals. I  need adequate, not tremendous, resolution and color
depth.

I would, of course, like to accomplish this task while spending the
least
amount of time and money possible! If anyone has found a scanner large
enough to accomplish the task without breaking the bank, that would be
one
option. Second, it's occured to me a digital camera heldl in a special
stand with appropriate lighting might be the other way to go.
Suggestions
welcome!

Best,

Joel
