Default Scan "Fixing"

Posted By: Anonymous

"How does everyone feel about using software to improve scan quality/resolution?"

If the purpose is to get a more accurate depiction of the card, I am all for it.

In my posts on this board, I use a Canon scanner. I find that to get the card more accurately depicted I have to decrease the red in the original scan and increase the blue in the "Color Balance" feature. I also usually have to increase the brightness of the picture.

Now, as for the flipside of the question: To use the software to improve quality/resolution of a card or product with the sole intent of selling cards/memorabilia in a better state than the product is actually in is fraud.
