600 DPI (or higher) scans

by **keatonic** » 06 Jul 2013, 23:45

Hi there,

I read on this forum somewhere that the team scans at 600 DPI, but doesn't release them as such due to file size.

Is there a way for me to get these images for my collection? I would even be willing to host them for a download if the team desired.

If this is possible, would I be getting the "fixed" images (i.e. scan artifacts, dust, etc removed) or the raw scans? Either is fine, I can fix them myself if need be.

If the team is unable to provide these, is there another place to find them, perhaps? I want a collection of all the images at 600 DPI+, but obviously don't have every card to scan.

Thanks.

I second that!

I can also host them!

I would also like this. Specifically for the Innastrad block and up

We've released maybe half of them in 300dpi and we'll probably do all of them. I think that's largely sufficient.
Why would anyone want 600 dpi for ?

I started collecting sets from M10 and beyond and have them in paper form that could be scanned if the desire to setup such a repository is of interest. I have had the thought of doing this myself but never really explored it very far. Were people thinking a finished product of 600DPI or like the actual RAW scan images (or some were in between). My thought was having a perspective cropped repository which would allow for the team (or others) to produce any type of final product they would like.

I would guess an average .tiff file size is 7Mb I would think to store an entire card block of images would be 7GB. Making it 14GB raided for security of course. (Someone check my math).

Like I've already said before, we have everything perspective cropped in 600 dpi jpgs. That's quite enough.
