| | Posted: | | | | With your fingers crossed.  I have yet to figure out a way to get a really decent scan of a lenticular cover. I usually try it a few times placing it on different areas of the scanner until a solid image comes through. I've seen a few members contribute some solid scans of lenticulars on a regular basis. Hopefully one will have a few tips for you. I generally replace them with the cover underneath for my local and lock 'em. They're just a bit cleaner for me. | | | | The night is calling.

does anyone have any idea how to scan these kind of cover? Try and Error. Similar to Merrik I'm trying what happens if you change the rotation. Sometimes it helps to put some (slightly) rough foil between cover and scanner. Best result is usually to not scan at all, but taking a picture with a digital camera. This way you can set the lighting to give the best results. I use directed neon (7400K) with an angle of appr. 30° to the motive. A polarization filter is helpful too. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I have had moderate success in the past, but it's mostly been trial & error. Sometimes I can get decent results directly from my scanner, other times I need to take a picture with my digital camera. I'll be putting my skills to the test again next week with the Target exclusive Dark Knight Rises blu-ray...it's a lenticular book that shifts between Batman and Bane (you can see the 2 images clearly here). | | | | My phpDVDprofiler collection |

A polarization filter is helpful too. I've found the camera path to be very useful also for these type of covers. |
