Please do *not* make them bitonal (black and white only)!!!!!!! You could also save time and do only the color manipulation (e.g., "gamma"). Could you place all the original scannings available for me? I could place the scannings available at our site. I also would like to process the images myself before you ruin them. Use of "gamma" most likely is not the way to improve the images. I will pick up the two example images and do experimentations. Takes a few days before I mail again with results. I have earlier done this kind of automatic level blancing in which I additionally flattened the curved pages (dark near the binding).
version for direct reading. For those who will probably ask, the raw page scans have already been uploaded to Distributed Proofreaders for conversion to structured digital text.]
Are those original 8-bit images? How to download them from DP? What are the direct links to the pages? Juhana -- http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-graphics-dev for developers of open source graphics software
