 | Pomegranate Music does matter! Member since Jul 2010 4740 Points | Yuk! I've just scanned two EMI CD singles for inclusion on the site and neither have scanned properly. They are both silver with an inner and an outer layer, if that makes sense. They have scanned like this one. Does anyone know how to correctly scan these silver coloured discs? |

Photographing them does work, but then it's obviously a bit of a pain getting it nice and round! But at the moment that's the only "solution" I think. |

 | thatsunday Member since Dec 2012 4541 Points Moderator | I put discs with a label print like yours inside a clear PVC sleeve (like used to protect CDs in cardboard sleeves) before scanning. The results are not perfect, far from it, but at least a little bit more readable. Apparently the sleeve minimizes the reflections of the silver label and hence improves the scan. |

| Pomegranate Music does matter! Member since Jul 2010 4740 Points | Thanks, Frank and Peter, for your very helpful advice. I've been experimenting with a PVC sleeve and it certainly improves the image. Now to buy some virgin PVC sleeves! |

| Pomegranate Music does matter! Member since Jul 2010 4740 Points | Bought a pack of 'Media Sleeves' which have sort of done the trick. Thanks again for the advice. |
