Keep the symmetry. ALWAYS. 3 Landscape and 3 Portrait. Move the other things around or make them smaller so you can put the 3 of the same together. The Royals logo on the left needs to be smaller, as does the one on the right. Line of the like cards on the middle and fit the logos into what is left on the sides. IMHO.

Also scan your cards outside of the sleeves and holders. Cleaner edges and better colors.

Thanks Alex. I may gut with an entirely different background. Just coughing it first.

College students shower........huh who knew.

Oh trust me, there are quite a few who don't, and you can certainly tell. And sometimes I shower twice a day thank you very much (only if I workout)

You could also save a little space if you found a way to trim up the extra space on the scans. I used PB for that but some have said the editor isn't working anymore.

Yeah. PB is utter crab anymore. I am going to re-scan everything. Just experimenting with PhotoShop and trying to get a general idea of how I want things laid out. I saved a ton of different backgrounds to work with. May try some more later, and post some new picks for you guys to choose from. I have to go get a haircut first. Wife isn't too happy because I told her I'm getting a mohawk today. Usually I just buzz it off and wear a hat.

Thanks guys. :)

And I know it's been awhile and no surprise if anyone's forgotten my name (Mike). I was here every day, but it was only for a month or two. I'll try not to let that happen again, as I thoroughly enjoy you lot!

I also need to figure out how to get a good scan of the super. Any suggestion Alex? You have some experience there.

Thanks Mike! And don't get too upset if your post gets overlooked from time to time. It seems like everyone posts pretty much at once hahaha! For example look at my detailed post to Steve @ CatdaddysCards about his sig feedback ;) (JK Steve...you better have a better sig now though).

Nice to meet you Mike. I'm Steve and these guys adopted me during your absence :-)

Haha nice!

Well, good luck with the backround. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Ralph - I like the earlier shifts on Saturday as it is my last work day of the week. I'm off at 7:30pm all other days so it is nice to get off early, and sleep is easy to sacrifice for now hahaha!



Welcome back! Remind me of your first name again :oops: Tough to keep track as there is so much banter throughout the years. A few of us connect outside of FCB which makes it easier to remember too :)



My opinion:

-Get use only one logo: my vote is to keep the circle colored one
-Replace the colored logo where the shadow logo is currently at
-To the left of the logo, put all five cards on the left (I know, sounds redundant LOL)
-Put the two landscape cards on the bottom with the three portrait cards above those
-Hope that makes sense :)

There will actually be three portrait and three landscape. I want to fit the BO Knows card in somewhere :-)

Yes, I missed this the first time around :-)

I have no idea what you are even talking about....... :confused: :wink::wink::wink::wink::wink::wink:

Ok, quit playing and get to telling me how to scan a super. Last time I tried with the door open. I've tried with things being it. I can't get it to not look blurry.

This is how I scan:

Top Open
Open Software and set the card
PREVIEW

Once previewed
Set the scan square to only can the area just larger than the card
Scan card

Once scanned
Crop the extra area off the card
Make sure scan is straight before doing this part or you will have to rescan with a straighter scan

Simple as that.

Boom! Also Steve @Catdaddycards ...some of us do exactly this with the lid open, but with the lights off and as dark of a room as possible.
