Amiga Advis 1/99

Amiga Advis 1/99Yet an other Danish Magazine is added, Amiga Advis 1/99.

I recently bought a Blu-Ray burner so I can backup the scanned images here. Yes I’m keeping the original images, but also the post-processed ones. Since each page is around 28megs, it’s a lot of data even for DVD’s. I ordered some Blu-Ray media, but I received DVD media instead, the person who packed it even put a checkmark for the packed stuff. I wonder how one can see a 25 pack blu-ray spindle, becomes a 50 pack dvd spindle. Anyway since I didn’t have much space on my NAS, 5GB free, I’m now making a backup of all finished stuff to a harddrive.

This will hopefully make enought space for the vast amounts of magazines, books and manuals I’ve stored on my portable computer.

List! Issue 01RetroPlay, who are known for making new WHDLoad releases, got this magazine in an auction. At the time of writing it isn’t known if this is the only Issue ever released.

A great Thanks to RetroPlay for aquiring this magazine.

On an other note. Kiwi, over at http://oldgamemags.com, is putting a last hand on tweaking his site using my PHP script. I think we are both equally satisfied with the result.
At a later time, I might implement the code on this site here as well. He had some very good ideas which I really like.

As I promised yesterday, I would clean up all the pages in the newly added magazines.

As you can see from the result, it’s a major improvement.

Unfortunately, because of the large amount of pages, Amiga Format will be added with JPG images, as opposed to PNG. Acrobat does a little work on them to compress the images while I OCR them too. Each magazine would otherwise be around 500 megs in size.

Amiga Format Issue 66 added

Amiga Format Issue 066While I’ve should have been with some of the other danish amigans this weekend, I was attacked by a migrane. “Luckily” for me it isn’t one of the bad ones where one need total isolation. Though too much noise and physical movement, does seem to have an impact on me.

I found that I had a good scan of Amiga Format Issue 66, only the front and pack pages has been undergoing some of my magic. I think the quality of the pages are good which is why I didn’t do much work on these other than the batch processing of rotation and cropping.

Amiga Interface issue3Amiga Interface Issue 3 is added. 60 Colourful pages all in Danish 🙂

The magazine has gone through OCR, so it’s searchable.

While Adobe does OCR it also compress the images, Making this magazine much smaller ca 60megs compared to the original non OCR’ed which is at 289megs.

I’d like a comment on the quality if it’s still good or not.
