Tomb Raider I and II - Prima's Official Strategy Guide - Work in Progress...

[JohnR]

I am just scanning and hopefully submitting after clarification it isn't already uploaded.

The guide is one of those that have two guides in it, but one is one side, flip the whole book over and read from the other end towards the middle..

So i have done half so far of the cutting/rebinding and scanning, afaik this is so far OK. - but will advise it needs editing as i have no knowledge to use at all, or indeed have Photoshop.

So far i have don't the front half of the guide, TR1, and the front cover and inside front cover separately, as well as the centre paper doll pages that were still intact.

IT hasn't yet been edited in anyway yet, but wondered if this was the correct way so far i was doing this?

Front Cover and Inside Front Cover

Lara Croft Paper Doll - (Centrefold Pages)

The first half of the book was fed via ADF on a Brother scanner, using .tif and Auto settings, on the Scan Settings, im not sure how well that exactly is though.

Looks great keep in mind that these to be cropped (white parts) and save into Jpgs at a 9 quality (or 95 on some programs) at 2200 px height. paint.net is a good free Photoshop alternative if you need one.

Thanks I will do that no worries. I'll try get them done for tomorrow night. [ UK time. ]
