[Coco] [OT] Graphics Advice for Cleaning Scans

[t.fadden at cox.net]

GIGO.  If you start with a bad scan, your gunna have a bad scan forever. 
To all the people that complain that the files are too big, bad scans 
are what your gunna get.
The Djvu are OK, but I don't particularly like them myself.  I like the 
original scans much better. In todays world where 1 terrabyte drives are 
under $100, and dvd's are less than 20 cents.  I can't understand why 
anyone would give up quality for size. Just my grumpy old opinion, so 
don't get your shorts in a knot!  :-)

Which documents are you refering to? perhaps some one could make new 
scans.
