I fix moire artefacts in Photoshop CS3 and XnView. If the CD disc is silver or metallic, the scanned image tends to create rainbow artefacts so in cases like this, I lay some very thin translucent paper between the Scanner glass and the CD disc (the Gamma and Contrast loss can be fixed later). CD covers are smaller in scale than Vinyl covers, thus fine details and text can be very small and hard to discern, so upping the DPI to 400 (rather than 300) allows me to zoom right in to the details for post-scan processing. I find with CD covers, 400 DPI is perfect for editing and archival purposes. The larger objects usually have larger text and details, so I try using 300 DPI first. I scan larger objects such as Vinyl LP covers at 300-400 DPI. I scan smaller things like CD covers at 400 DPI.
I like to do things the manual way and I like to have full control of all steps of a task or process I have a lot of patience. I collect lossless music, and I manually curate my tags and filesystem and don't care for automated no-brainer solutions I like learning. I have no knowledge or interest in mobile/tablet computing. Some personal notes on processing artwork for viewing in foobar2000 on a desktop PC. ITunes is easiest in order to retrieve album art, and it's possible to use scripts to embedd the album art across the files. However I tend to let iTunes find any missing album covers because they're just as good as albumartexchange and Apple is a corporation that has access to original scans. MusicBrainz Picard + Advanced Title Case Plugin + Do Not Preserve Tags = Perfect Metadata (IMO) which means - No Album art stored except inside the folder with the album. Is it better to keep the 1000px in its own file "front.jpg" and leave the audio alone? Or perhaps embed 600px images and keep a higher resolution in the album directory? And where there are several tracks from several albums inside the same folder? However this art size is not daunting to modern computing, as images do eventually need more resolution to look perfect, and computers are faster. I have heard that this may be a great disavantage for portable devices, which eventually choke with such huge art size. Is it still a smart move to embed covers like this in your audio files?
The site started with 600 px, then 800 px, and now it's not uncommon to find your favourite cover with 1000px and way over 1MB, in a very perfect scanned way, of course. Quote from: krafty on 02:14:32 I always go to to get my CD covers (followed an advice from someone here in the forum), because no matter what I do I can't get them scanned as perfect.īut I have been noticing that there has been a booming inscrease on average art size.
