Some Technical Details
The images were scanned using a Brother© DCP-6690CW A3 scanner at a resolution of 400dpi. The resultant images were re-sized, using Adobe© Photoshop Elements©, to be 1000 pixels along the longest side.
Some "cleaning" of the images was done to remove blemishes and flaws such as foxing and crease marks. In addition, where the source journals were very badly discoloured through age some adjustments were made to remedy this. Nothing material has been added to or removed from the images.
