Help find missing scans !
«

March 18, 2013, 05:59:15 PM »
I have searched for missing images for the games I have, but its overwhelming on how many needs scanned so I wanted to throw this out there:
Any game or hardware anyone comes across that doesnt have a scan send me a message if I own it and I will find it and scan it. this will be done on tuesdays
its my free day.
Thanks

A BUNCH!
If the Find Missing Images tool* gets tweaked and allowed you to only search on a system by system basis or be able to exclude Screenshots would that increase the likelihood of you using it?
*Can be found here: (don't worry the link is for my username but when you search it bases it off your collection anyways)

when i'm trying to do something like that i just take it system by system. just filter to show only one system that you own, then start manually clicking through each one...i don't really use the "find missing images" thing for the reason izret pointed out that it includes screenshots, which i don't normally submit.

I always go through each listing in my collection to find which games need pictures. Sometimes scans are bad and need to be replaced; the "Find Missing Images" tool won't show that.
Granted, with a collection as large as yours, that can take quite a bit of time.

I will be happy to do the hardware, how do you search for hardware, the search tools says that for EX. that the Master system 3d glasses needs scans but you click on it it only needs manual, how do I just search say just one of the 4 kinds of scans.

do we have a forum for bad scans that I could check and and rescan ? like low res or just poor scans in general.... PS I want that scanner mouse
I could scan every box to perfection.

Not that I know of. I like my scans at least 600DPI and cropped properly, so I generally replace scans that aren't the best they can be. They're not necessarily "bad", but they could be better.

If I could get high res scans with my phone, I'd do it in a heartbeat. You can start up a thread in the Announcements and Feedback forum where people can post up low quality scan links and we'll start from there. I'm with blck in that I scan at 600 DPI and scale down from there, but the results can be negligible depending on how you do the scaling down to 550px short side. Still, these scans don't lie:

^I love being able to read the fine print on the back of scans. Like you said, the difference can be negligible sometimes when they're scaled down to 550px, but being at least 600DPI seems have enough detail to allow you to read the back of the box.
