Re: Brand new to making an ebook and need help

I have had a look and run some tests. I think the problem is the quality of the scans. Can you try a 600dpi mono JPG scan again but scanning slower as you pull across the page. And another sample scanning top to bottom not left to right. I will post some of the results I got with your previous sampl...

Re: Brand new to making an ebook and need help

First it is alway good to test a workflow with several pages before charging in and scanning a whole book.
