Flatbed scanning
You can place up to 10 cards on the glass of the scanner. You want there to be a gap around all edges of the card
keeping it away from the edge of the scanner bezel. You also want a dark background so the software can separate the
individual card images from the larger image. A black or dark sheet of paper placed behind the cards works best. Scan at
400 PI in color.
You could also leave the lid to the scanner open but on some scanners you risk light leaking in on an edge of the image
creating a very subtle white line making it impossible for the software to extract the individual card images.
For very dark cards you would do the opposite and just close the lid to the scanner to create a white background. It is
useful then to separate the cards into dark and light for this kind of processing.
You can also scan outside of the software and save the scans as image files which can then be processed in the software.
Open Cardiris and go to File > Load Card images and navigate to where the images are stored and select one or more of
the images. Go to the Process menu > Extract images to separate the individual images from the larger image.
