I finished scanning a bunch o' pictures for Drewan last night, uploaded them to fotki.com and burned them onto a CD. The scanner took on some rather odd sized pictures. Many of them were large, and some, panorama shots, I had to scan by hand -- put the pictures down on the scanner and punch a button. Some of the hand-scans, it picked out the edge of the picture, others had the track feed showing and I had to cut it out with software. You could go to fotki.com to see them, but they're protected. You'll just have to dream that they're much more daring than they actually are. I'm still trying to figure out the panorama Christmas village shots, but then again, maybe that's just me. I expect more D & A shots from a leather club, and, as I whined to Drewan, a few cute slave boys to help me sort the pictures out by size. The long ones -- for pictures, not for panorama shots -- I had to remove from the out slot as the scanner spit them out. They tended to fall on the floor after a few collected and then the scanner got all upset and declared a feeding problem. The last shot I scanned is a huge panorama shot of the back of a TV set and the front of somebody's boots. I really think it an accident. There's not enough of the boots showing for a good fetish shot, and I've never heard of a fetish about the backs of TV sets. Yet.

I did uncompress the drive I was storing the scans on. I was getting too many "Unable to save" notices from the scanning software. It seems to have gone away. I also kept scanning smaller stacks of pictures. The software must be saving a huge temp file as it scans -- it only writes it out when the job is done. This, I found, works not well if I keep stacking more pictures up on the in slot. I was getting lots and lots scanned, but then it would fail to write them to the storage area. I never did check the temp files.
