Default Scanning your collection - share your best practices?

I recently saw a helpful thread on picking the best scanners for card images… I’m wondering if collectors might have helpful tips on how they scan their cards for best image AND for ease and efficiency.

For example, when you scan, is the image already cropped to the size of the card or do you always have to crop to get the final image right sized to the card? How about different sizes cards (tobacco, traditional, postcard)

Any tips on storing narrative info on the scan for easy reference? Purchase date, price paid, other details

This is going to be a winter weekend project for my collection and thought some Net54ers might have some great tips to share on how they create their scan/images and store related info about the cards

Thx all,

Jeff
