I randomly stumbled upon this video today.
I thought it did a pretty great job showing off the basics of Scan Tailor Advanced's steps:
He showed off how to split pages, reorient, add a box around the content, etc.
Even I learned a little something: I had no idea "Fill Zones" even existed—so I'll be using that in the future.
Towards the end, he even quickly showed "the equivalent steps" using Finereader, and you can see how much better/easier Scan Tailor is for cleaning up scans:
- Finereader is "once you edit/change the image, that's it, you can't go back"
where:
- Scan Tailor lets you readjust and fix any image at any stage, then just reoutput.
- - -
Note: I wouldn't follow a lot of his advice on "low DPI"... or how he exports images out of PDF (using low quality JPGs is going to introduce a lot more errors).
But overall, I thought the Scan Tailor parts were a great beginner intro.
The rest of his video, you can take with a huge grain of salt.
