 | vidman45 Member since Jan 2013 1024 Points | I have just added my first CD album, and was reminded of a problem that I had last year when I added a few scans of CD singles. I get rainbow reflections on the disc images. They are more noticeable on discs with shiny silver labels. I have tried adjusting the light levels on my scanner, but it does not seem to help. Does anyone have scanning hints to correct this problem? |

 | mlgh224 SUBS Member since Jan 2013 1886 Points Moderator | Scanners with an LED light source ( which is in fact a row of individual LEDs) such as newer Epsons ( I think all the V*** models have LEDs) are the worst giving multiple coloured bands that seem to fan out, and looking at your images I suspect that's what you have. Scanners with Cold Cathode tubes as the light source behave much better in this respect giving a uniform diffuse light. LEDs have the advantage of not having to warm up. |

| vidman45 Member since Jan 2013 1024 Points | Thanks for the suggestions. I tried using plastic bags, and that seems to help somewhat. I am using an Epson "V" model scanner. I have a new scanner built into a printer that I have not learned to use yet. But it has a smaller scanning bed, and it is also an Epson :(( I bought it because it is supposed to print CD disk labels. |
