I wait until I have multiple items to scan and then put them all on the scanner at once, flip them and do the backs. I then use the free Photoshop-like software Paint.net to open them and cut and paste the individual front-backs into new files that I then save with the card's set, name, and another detail or two if I might have files with the same name.

Also - scanners will make images that are way higher resolution than you need to have a nice scan. I try to have the final individual card files end up at about 1 MB - they look great and are the right size to be posted here without needing to create a smaller file.

I scan at 200dpi the front, then the back. Then I cut and paste to make them 1 picture....crop out the additional space then put it in my collection on my personal website. Then anytime I want to show one I just click that link, add it here and job done..

Leon - correct me if I am wrong, but when you post that way and then remove the card from the site you link to, the image disappears from Net54, right? (As opposed to actually posting the image here which means it will stay with the post.)

Yes it would but I don't remember ever removing one, though I am sure it's been done. Things in my collection usually stay unless I sell the whole thing again. And I hope that is not for a long time.

This is an interesting thread, thanks. I'd really like to scan my collection and manage the files in some useful way. Now I have a new project....
