sounds good How to I get the full image when extracting a PDF? I keep getting small versions of the pages.

Is it ok to edit some of your PCG scans mark? You have so many that can be added to the site. Would love to work on some.

New file is smaller. All dual ads are together and look better. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UU7cVSQs_3qQ-RRdOj6OYzMqXrJ724Wc

That's a neat trick will do that from here on out I have trouble uploading big files on archive.org. Always gets messed up. My original scans are around 3200ish so I reduce them a little to save. But 12q is a bit overkill. Will correct in the future. Ok cool. I'm improving all of the double ads so there's lots to add in the gallery

Some pages needed to be improve IMO but right now its presentable so I released it as v1. The cover does have a fill. The cover has a weird metallic looking blue to it. The problem is my mag as wrinkles on the cover making it hard to use the original color. Best I can do is use a color similar to it. Heres the original scan: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TPU3V9NCWx5laSi2Aa0A6GLjWXcR4wTj Any help to it is appreciated. One of my changes I decided is to make the dual ads join together. I hate how it looks when viewed double paged in a comic book reader. The reason there not joined is because of the fold out ads and the stupid subscriber insert card As for the page sizes and quality I do make it smaller for archive.org. I think they hate big files i don't know. For future releases i'll try smaller quality bigger resolution as you said. Thanks for adding some of my ads to the site!

I store them in big storage containers to avoid fading and dust. It sucks to take them all out just to look thru them.

thanks!

My first unbinded scan. Came out clean. https://archive.org/details/SWATProSeptember1995 https://drive.google.com/open?id=15x5cnQRPgB1vRo8xkPMfD0Ea3K8y5PFy

This one was standing on its last legs. It was hanging by a few staples so I decided to unbind the mag. Surprisingly the pages were in pristine shape. Very few wrinkles or torns on them. The scans came out pretty clean with very few rescan jobs. Enjoy. https://archive.org/details/SWATProSeptember1995 https://drive.google.com/open?id=15x5cnQRPgB1vRo8xkPMfD0Ea3K8y5PFy

the 97 E3 show supplement EGM did had a blurb about the movie Full scan: https://archive.org/details/EGM1997ShowGuideToE3 https://ia801502.us.archive.org/12/items/EGM1997ShowGuideToE3/005.jpg

Found this in my pile of mags. Decided to scan it and share with ya. Link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aDp9Spuir3D8P8l-X7PWI7c4SjlTWNqq

I see. What about the blogs can I post a link of the mag in there. Is that ok?

i see but i dont think this applies to this certain image since it dont align. I understand aligning is certainly important. The other ads are aligned good.

but the laser beams look exactly like that in the mag. They are not joined perfectly like you think they are. Especially the right laser. You cant align them perfectly so whats the issue? Are you saying theres more image in the binded part that you cant see unless debinding? I pushed the mag down the middle and the laser dont align.

I can sure assure you there is no missing info on the edges. I would of fix that. The problem i found is that these pages are super thin and the other side of the page would bleed through when scanning. I edited most of the bleeds but some pages I couldnt. Re-scanning didnt help, it would cause the same outcome. Debinding would of course fix all this but I just cant see me doing that and I dont want loose pages lying around! For the blurs i did some editing and sharpened them in PhotoShop the best i can. The double page ads I thought it looked better joined but then again most comic book viewers you can double view pages so it was probably useless. It does look cool though I think. The link is down for now. I'm gonna do some edits I missed and re-upload. Is it ok to make a blog to share a link of the mag? Thanks for the advice though. Scanning is hard work! I know what to do in the future now.

I found some old mags i collected when i was younger and decided to scan one for this site. I picked a PC Gamer mag since the database has only a few. I hope its good enough! Updated with more improvements! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vpdAziVCQjRFx6LAbE2SJ4JncYB3ThHD
