Hi @TinWhisperer you are too modest , your scans results looks always excellent since you started scanning . So definitely you are beyond the amateur level by now as you know exactly what you are doing and I am sure other new users would love to hear your advice or opinion how to do it better based on your own experiences.
Exactly as you typed above , it would be great if you have some new scans .
We going to vote on the best showcase showing the quality of the full scans so no partials scans .
Just post the original picture and screenshot of the scans and what scanner you used as others did already , your showcase in the contest thread can have more than one scan .
