Waroff .. do you have the free google PICASA loaded? Things like that allow fast and easy tilting adjustment.

Superb sharp scan tho! 8)

Glen that was done on MY NEW Canon LiDe 100. No shops seemed to have a LiDe90.
Only had it 10 minutes... software quite different than HP scanjet but leave the sh*t mustek for dead.

Interesting.

For some reason the Canon Lide scanners seem to work superbly on stamps.

I've had 3 in a row now.

I bought a lide90 very recently so they are still about!

Nice scan Bill. Picasa is your next new best friend. The straighten and crop tools are a doddle.

Hey guys, you can't rush these things. A new computer, a new OS, a new scanner and now you want a new program.

It took me until 4:00am yesterday so computer 1 and 2 would even recognise each other.

Yes, it is. I have used Xp for years but I thought I'd get the new one before MS stopped supporting XP.

22. Signatures

We do not wish to restrict your right to display personal views, ideology, etc. but do ask that you remain respectful of others in your signature lines. NO gifs, or still or moving images may be used in signatures. We also PREFER that they be in monocolour. And two (2) lines in usual font size is maximum as you can see looking at other member signatures. Dealers or large auctions can link to their own main business website etc, if they choose. ebay members account names or links to them etc may not be used in signature, but there are threads where your lots can be freely highlighted to others if you choose! If you have any questions as to whether something is acceptable, send a private message to a moderator.

---------------------
Very clever. :D Nothing to stop you posting it as a Macro on each post. :)
