Scan results

Had a friend wondering about the quality of scans when scanning slides with a flatbed scanner. I’ve dug these up out of the archives for a reference.

Slides:
These are the only slides I’ve scanned and I took them in high school, which means that they are about 20 years old. Hopefully my photography has improved since then.

Edit:

I’ve been playing with a thumbnail creation script using ImageMagick. It’s pretty cool how much you can do. I had to do some scripting to make it fit the scaling, something that ImageMagick V6 handles with a single extra character, but until that’s running on this server, my solution will work…. long term I want to roll the thumbnail creation into the LightBoxJS stuff. Right now it asks for thumbnail, width and height. No reason it can’t get that stuff automatically.

Further edit:

I’ve update everything to use Lazyest Gallery, so the ImageMagick stuff isn’t needed
