Need some help deciding on a scanning method....

[soccerman034]

I am in the process of rescanning all of my cards (should take 5-6 hours, yikes :x ), and am trying to find out the best way to make each scan look good. Here are two scans I have made of the same cards:

A.)

B.)

Scan A is closed lid, low saturation, and high brightness and contrast.

Scan B is open lid, high saturation, and low brightness.

Which one looks better? Why? Any help is much appreciated!

B, by far.

I think B is far superior, and it would even be better if you kicked up the brightness just a notch.

i voted "B"

but i think that cards should be scanned individually.

I am honestly a bit surprised by the voting thus far, I thought A would be winning for sure. The stuff you learn

im not shocked. i prefer color to the background of scans. my color of choice is green

That is too much of a hassle

If done correctly (which isn't hard to do), I can turn this

Into these, all cropped from the original scan

Just some examples, but back on topic, I like scan B
