I'm very happy to see the labels we collectors have found somewhere in the world. To do it the best way, we should keep in mind:

  • Choose 300dpi at the scanner, so all of the details are visible
  • Show the label complete and do not cut edges.
  • When possbile crop the picture to 300px × 405px (⇒ 1:1.35)
  • Choose a nice background paper. Because many labels have got a white border they are partly invisible on white background. And also a red background is not the best choice, because it is too dominant. So please choose a modestly brown or yellow background paper.

I guess, it is not much additional efford to scan the labels this way instead of the other. Isn't it?

Agree on the background but as you know all of these labels were in a frame with a fixed background. I received teh permission to remove the frame and glass but it was not an option to change the background.
