| | Posted: May 19, 2007 1:26 PM | | | | Hi there,
With so many blu-ray's coming out, my scanner has again started to work.
However, I wanted to make a nice scan from the cover of "World Trade Center" but did not succeed to make a nice scan, due to the reflective part. (It's the "chrome" part which turns out to be black)
Does anybody have a suggestion how to get it right?
thanks. | | | | http://bluray.ligfietsers.be/phpdvdprofiler/index.php |

I've tried it before and it has helped a little bit. |

I don't know about BR covers, but I generally get very good result's with my scanner.
A Canon CanoScan 5200 F, pick up for less than £100 from PC World here in the UK. As it's a photo scanner it does a very good job on reflective materials. Have a look at the UK profile for Hogfather EAN 5039036031813. Not only was that one reflective but slightly 3D as well.
Other people have said that they have to resort to 'Laminated Pouches'.

| | Posted: May 19, 2007 3:54 PM | | | | I've read on other forums that using a digital camera instead of a scanner works better for reflective surfaces. I haven't tried it myself (only have a camera phone). Just thought I'd through it out there as a possibility. | | | | "I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
