Well, according to the Tutorial on this forum and the video:

How to scan?
We hold high standards here at the CCGHQ. Some scanners simply cannot produce high quality images. To produce the best images possible, we ask for scans at 600DPI resolution. Please disable all automatic image correction options including color/contrast adjustment, dust/scratch removal, unsharp mask, and descreen. Save as PNG file type.
That's why, my raw scans are PNG. Will change to JPG then, please modify the tutorial.

Let me check. Sorry wrong file was sent, new one is available now.

Yeah, that probably could use a couple updates. We also ask people to do 1200 DPI if at all possible now too.

All right, JPG and 1200 DPI whenever I will scan more cards. More things I should know about ?

I'll update the FAQ. 600DPI JPG is usually fine. I ask for PNGs, because it tells me up front if the scanner is usable. If the PNGs are good, then I try to move people to JPG. Only a couple of our contributors must use 1200DPI, because their scanners make crappy 600DPI images.

I haven't been working on your scans dragsamou, so I just forgot to relay that info to you. You didn't do anything wrong. We're not yelling at you. We're just asking you to switch to JPG. You don't have to re-scan anything. Life's good.

Yep, I didn't even mention 1200 before because all your scans have been totally fine at 600 DPI. I only started suggesting it because some people's 600s aren't usable and if they do 1200 the first time they won't have to rescan anything.

All is fine, I know that I didn't do anything wrong and that you're not yelling at me. Always happy to help and if on the road I can improve the quality of scans provided with some technical explanations even better. I need to go through Promos that I believe are missing in your missing lists, but for now, I'm totally swamped into working for almost 2 monthes on a huge update for Magiclibrarities.

Hi Charlequin

Alternate Lands MPS Logo Scars of Mirrodin Cycle were distributed in 2010 Not 2011.

The last cycle: Alternate Lands MPS Logo Innistrad Cycle were distributed in 2011/2012

There's a typo in the file: Uldenwald Observer instead of Ulvenwald Observer

Hi Charlequin

I've just asked one member to scan for me the last cycle (he doesn't have a great scanner that I do remember, so we'll see what you can do with those once I get them):
Alternate Lands MPS Logo Innistrad Cycle Foil and Non-Foil 2011/2012

Presenting the last four Expeditions, just in time to start all over again with Kaladesh Inventions!

ImageImageImageImage

Currently this set isn't the most consistent color-wise, and I may make a future pass to try to bring them closer together, but at very least all 45 Expedition lands can be found in all our published sizes in the More Releases folder.

Also presenting: the two outstanding Judge promos:

These each have a little bit of color banding present, so I will redo them if we can get access to better scans.
