johnnyhotspur ● 7th Aug 2017		One of the best 'World Of Hits' volumes, this one has a lot of 'Mod' type tracks. Very hip!



Trester 22nd Apr 2016		Uploaded sleeve images.



Neil Forbes 18th May 2015		Hi, Sheepdip! Just a tip, when you've scanned your label image, using the brightness and contrast settings, sharpen the image by about 50% and apply perhaps the same amount in brightness. In resizing, set about 40%, this should bring the image and file size down to what is required for this website. Hope that's of some help. With the brightness and contrast settings, a bit of experimentation either side of the 50% mark might be required. If you're not entirely happy with the settings, hit ctrl+z to undo any changes so you can continue experimenting. Once you're happy with the result, hit ctrl+s to save the changes. Ctrl+z is a keyboard shortcut for undoing changes, Ctrl+s is likewise for saving files(saves wear & tear on the poor ol' mouse!). Cheers!



sheepdip1234 SUBS ● 17th May 2015		Cheers Neil



Record Collector 17th May 2015		Has the world of Hits series I have to look which one I have



Neil Forbes 17th May 2015		You're getting there, Sheepdip! Just takes a bit of experimentation to get it right, but the labels, though a bit bright, do look better and are far more legible.



sheepdip1234 SUBS ● 16th May 2015		Re-added 2 scans - slightly better, but a bit bright. Thanks Neil for all your advice, will probably try again if time allows.



Neil Forbes 13th May 2015		Hi, Sheepdip, good onya!. The programme should help a great deal in processing the labels and cover images. By the way, I was not much chop on computers initially but I learned simply through the act of using them. Mind you, I'd be flat-out trying to put one together from scratch si I let the experts take care of that side of things, I just nominate the programmes I want, or hunt down and install specific software pertinent to my needs.



sheepdip1234 SUBS ● 13th May 2015		Hi Neil. Yep found it, so I'll give it a go at the weekend. Thanks for your help - I'm not much of a computer whizz.



Neil Forbes 12th May 2015		Hi, Sheepdip! Usuually the Microsoft Office Picture Manager comes as part of the bundle when you get Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8. It may already be on your computer, if you're running any of these Windows variants. Click on the "start" and select "all programmes", then scroll down the list, it may be there. If you find it, right-click the icon, then select "send to" and select "desktop(create shortcut)" You'll likely find it in "Microsoft Office Tools" which is a folder other potentially useful stuff as well. Cheers.



sheepdip1234 SUBS ● 11th May 2015		Hi Neil, I haven't but I will get it and try the upload again. Thanks again for your assistance.



Neil Forbes 9th May 2015		Hi, Sheepdip! Glad to be of some assistance! Do you have Microsoft Office Picture Manager on your computer? If so, you'll find that programme of some use in cleaning up images.



sheepdip1234 SUBS ● 9th May 2015		Neil Forbes. Many thanks for the info. I used Paint.NET but maybe a should have lightened it a bit more. It looked OK until I uploaded it. Yes, my first scan was utter garbage. Cheers.



Record Collector 8th May 2015		A4 love that song



Neil Forbes 8th May 2015		Sheepdip, If you have any image processor software, you might try lightening the image(make it brighter) plus tweaking the contrast, that may help. What doesn't help any of us(you included) is when these record companies choose to put black print on dark-coloured labels. When we try to scan same, the image comes up an absolute mess. I've got one set of labels that I'll need to rescan for the album "Oldies But Goldies", but that will have to wait as I must first build up my data reserve.



sheepdip1234 SUBS ● 8th May 2015		Added standard "blue" labels. Scanner doesn't like this color so had to adjust to make them readable.



lorangrecords SUBS 28th Feb 2014



wordnwot 13th Jan 2014		Get the mono version and hear the tracks as they were designed to be heard.
