Keystoning and image size

Post by Lakmir »

Okay, so last night I finally got around to building a quick-and-dirty scanner based on the cardboard box build on the old instructable. I'm only planning on using it a couple of times per year, mainly for textbooks, and it got its first real run last night with a 500 page linear algebra book. However, I think my tripod wasn't properly leveled, because I ended up with a nasty keystone effect in a lot of my images. Is there any easy way to fix this? I've tried loading up Book Scan Wizard - not that I have any idea how to use it, mind! - but I can't get it to run either from web or manual install. Manual gives me:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/media/jai/JAI

Could not find the main class: net.sourceforge.bookscanwizard.BSW. Program will exit.

While the web start version gives me:

I'm running Java 1.6.0_026.

Also, it turns out that TIFF output images are massive - 300K apiece or so, at some 5000x6000 pixel resolution. I'd like to shrink them down a bit so that my resultant PDF output ends up around 50 megs or less. Again, is there an easy way to automate this?

Give BSW another try.. Oracle made a change which broke BSW, but it should be working now.
