Enhancing or editing scans when selling

I have noticed the opposite with my scanner. It makes the cards look actually WORSE than they do in hand.

We must have the same scanner. It is really bad on bright colored cards. I have a Clemente that in hand is amazing and my scanner makes it look dull and ugly.

Mine is an Epson V something .......It does horrible on SGC slabs...even with the dust filter on it shows a ton of lint in the background.....and the raw cards, it makes the corners look all fuzzy on the old Leafs and Bowmans and in hand they don't look bad at all.

Mine is an Epson (without that component for scanning slabbed cards), too. I bought this Seaver with a qualifier, because it was pretty cheap and gum residue doesn't bother me much at all. In person it looks beautiful, to the point that you wouldn't even know it had a 'stain' (in and around his last name on back) if there wasn't an ST on the label. But, man, my scanner makes it look like the card has gangrene (no offense to any gangrenous people out there). I think the folks at Epson program their scanners to find flaws and make them the focal point of the scan.
