These days you don't need to
travel hundreds of miles and/or wait months or years between stamp
exhibitions. Showcasing your stamps, and inspecting other people's
stamps, is as easy as scanning them and then sharing the images you've
created - either by email or by using one of the many free photo web
display services. But
- is scanning easy? Yes and no. There are increasingly
scanners being sold as 'one button' scanners with fully automatic software
that will automatically optimize the images it makes. Or so the
advertisements tell us.
The reality is that there
is a bit of art mixed in with the science of scanning. Here are two
sections - one with some comments on how to choose a scanner, and the
other with some comments on how to get the best results once you've bought
it.
