[davidlandin]

I've written an illustrated manual to show how to use the excellent YASW.exe program for post-processing page images.

Hey David,

thank you for documenting YASW

Would you agree to upload the manual to the YASW sourceforge page?

Hi Robert

I would be very happy for the YASW manual to go on the Source forge site. But I am not sure how to upload it. Could you do this for me please?

Also I wonder if you might be able to take the YASW output one further step by adjusting the gamma settings to provide a crisp black and white image of the text. ScanTailor does this, and gives very clear text output. i think this is the one BIG wish I would have for YASW.

Well done on such an excellent programme! I am going to download and try your latest version today.

Hi Robert

I've just tried the new YASW. Have you changed the thickness of the line for marking out the keystone corrections and the page boundaries?? It seems VERY thin now, and I can hardkly see it. Can you make it a little wider like 2 pixels instead of one or something a bit wider. I just checked the earlier version of YASW and it is wider/thicker and it is much more visible.

I've already begun for next release 0.7. But for now this is only a white balance feature which is better than nothing but not very helpfull. I'm folowing the thread about binarisation (http://www.diybookscanner.org/forum/vie ... =17&t=3109 and want to implement at least one of the algorithm. This will take some time as I am new to the subject.)

Yes, I did noticed too, allready openend a Ticket for that (https://sourceforge.net/p/yascanw/tickets/33/). I thought this was allready in 0.5, but if you did noticed to, this has probably something to do with the new Qt. I will (try to) correct it for 0.7.

Thank you for wour feedback
