Scanning Settings

Some of these scans are amazing. Some questions for the gurus out there:

 

1. What kind of scanner do you use?

2. What are the ideal settings for scanning a book? What do you use?

3. Any tips on getting from book to scanned to posted faster? Seems to take forever for me.

I am happy with my Epson Perfection

 

1. I use Magazine setting at 300 dots/inch targeted for printing.

 

2. I save as large high quality JPEG (about a 72).

 

3. Upload to Adobe Lightroom.

 

4. Export with target file size of 500K maximum at desired size for display on web .

 

5. Upload to my account at Pbase (most people use Photobucket)

 

Takes 5-10 minutes if I just want to scan one book. Most scanners can do a good job with the right settings for the intended task.
