E-Day's Work In Progress

[E-Day]

Next up:

GamePro Issue 68, March 1995.

Out of the gate, I will mention that a few pages have parts cute out. If anyone has this issue and wants to scan those pages for me, send me a private message. The pages that are needed are:

Pages 126, 126, 127, 128, 131, and 132.

Here are two scans of the cover: One using the default scanner profile, and the other using some sRBG profile (both with saturation upped 20% post scan). Do let me know which looks better to you between the two before I start.

#1 - Default Profile:

#2 - sRGB Profile:

The bottom one there is just slightly brighter. Does it take longer to scan that style? To me on my screen the bottom one looks just a hair better but they are both great quality.

[E-Day]

They take the same time to scan. The second one is brighter, but the top one is actuallyvery close to the original print version. Much more so than the second one.

But it depends on what is best for the screen. That's why I want to get people's opinions on here before starting

[triverse]

I would go with the one closer to the original myself.

[E-Day]

I was thinking that as well, but the other one might be easier to read on a screen. I'll wait to see what others think.

I agree i always loved when a magazine is 1:1 copy even teh orignal YRB colors. Any change we can see the OLD gameprofles from 89-92 fully uploaded soon ?

LOVE your work E-Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the MAN !

I'd go with the first one without a doubt. The saturation in that one just looks about perfect.

On the second one which seems a bit brighter the colors almost seems a bit washed out.

Not quite washed out, but getting close to it.

Hard to explain actually.

Consider it done. Your advice about boosting saturation by 20% did wonders.

LOVE your work E-Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are the MAN !

Awesome! We can have a man-man love affair on the front page of this site!

This is the last old GamePro that I own. So until I get more somehow, I can't scan anymore.

Anyhow, it's 100% scanned and edited, and will be going online tomorrow evening.

thank you!

Uploaded. Feast away!

Just saw GamePro Issue 8 March 1990 on eBay; saw that no one here had it, so I grabbed it. It will be my next scan when it arrives. And because it cost me $20, I won't be taking out the staples and slicing it up

Thank you, thank you!

Re: Gamepro 8 March 1990

BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL ..THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dam I'm so happy with a tear in my eye!

[E-Day]

No problem! I wanted to scan something again (even though scanning is a pain without taking the issue apart), and I'd like to have some of the old issues in my hand in print form. It's win-win for everyone

[E-Day]

The magazine arrived today; I shall start scanning it shortly. It's only 64 pages, so it shouldn't take too too long

[E-Day]

GamePro Issue 8 (March 1990) is done and uploaded

[E-Day]

I am waiting to hear back from an eBay seller on the shipping rate for a magazine I just bought (system lists $12 s&H, auction description lists less). If all goes well, this will be my next project:

It's not GamePro, but it's still retro

Mega Play Volume 4 Number 2 (Issue 15 overall) arrived today. Scanning will commence very shortly.
