One dozen scans
| 
May 30 13:32 UTC 1996 |
Donated by Michael O'Leary (nephi):
I was thinking about things that I could donate for the auction when I
started thinking about this super high quality scanner that I have sitting
here on my desk. No, I'm not about to donate the scanner, but I am
willing to donate a dozen scans. 8^) I was thinking that the winner
could send me his or her pictures and I could arrange for him or her to
get the digitized form via email, ftp, http, or even a floppy disk. I can
scan at any resolution or color depth, and I have some rather high powered
image editting programs (including Adobe Photoshop), so if the winning bid
is high enough, I am willing to retouch each picture to the winner's
specifications.
I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I am sure that the winner will be quite
pleased with the results.
A couple examples of my work can be found at

(What? Only one bid? Do you know how much it would cost if you went to your
local copy shop and did a dozen scans right? *Big* bucks! 8^)

(i'd imagine a dozen high quality scans would costs, what, $4.99 each,
so 12 would be around 60 smackers...)

Kinko's charges $24/hr to use their do-it-yourself scanning system, and for
high-quality scans (600dpi), it is *slow*. Even 150dpi scans probably take
5-10 minutes ($2-$4) each, when you factor in the pre-scan, brightness
adjustment, scan, and transfer to your own media.

Alas, it was a firm bid -- a high price to pay (snicker, snicker) but
it is for a good cause (and I can use those scans for HVCN) snicker
snicker). I repeat: Twenty five ($25.00) and no/100 dollars. This is a bid.

If I need something scanned, I usually type it myself, unless I can get
Marlene to do it for me. ;)
Can I auction off Marlene?

You can use the scans for whatever you like. 8^) You can even send me
pictures of nude women to scan. 8^) 8^)

For clarification, nephi, will you need the eventual winner
to send in the photos, or the negatives?

I think that I can only scan photographs (although I have scanned logos off
of T-shirts, and with Photoshop, I bet that I could take the inverse of the
negatives, making positives. 8^)
