adamstrange Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 It's funny because years ago their scans were too dark. Made defects stand out worse than they actually were. They have definitely varied their scans over time, as have most other sites. I'm an admitted color fanatic so I do try to make some reasonable guess about scans vs. reality by looking at books on a site where I know the colors.

Doohickamabob Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I still like the book but whoever did the original scan had to know that their settings were creating an image that was not even remotely indicative of the book. The discrepancy is ridiculous, and Heritage should take full responsibility for it. For a professional, multi-million-dollar company to misrepresent its product that way is unacceptable.

Senormac Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Scanning is a magical tool that can really change the appearance of a book. First, the scan from Heritage. Now my scan which matches the book in hand. I still like the book but whoever did the original scan had to know that their settings were creating an image that was not even remotely indicative of the book. Wow....what a difference !! I like the darker one, which makes the book seem older and cooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
