Okay boy's this is getting a little confusing for me but then that doesn't take a whole lot LOL! Be patient with me here.
Not a problem.
#1 Someone said you could scan then to a Cd,so if you scan them to a Cd or scan them to share any which way you still have to take the time to scan them.It's the time it takes to scan,correct?
Yes, the time it takes to scan is what slows things down.
Instead of scanning directly to a CD (it can be done, but is a more complicated process), scan to your "My Pictures" folder as usual.
After you have scanned all documents, then you can select all of them at one time and burn them to a CD in one shot.
#2 If some one asks me, Lawrence do you have an IPL for a IEL AB?I say yes I will scan it and send it via email.When I scan it it ask's do you want to keep the original size,I say yes.So I scan it and it goes to My Pictures,from there I email it to whoever wants it.When the person receives it they can zoom in on the information sent for a closeup of a part or whatever.
That's a good way to do it. The original size gives the best clarity. If someone wants to reduce the size they can do so with the copy that you send them.
#3.I have a photobucket account which I use to post pictures on AS.I am pretty sure you can't view my pictures without my password,Not Positive though.
Unless you made your picture or folder "Private," then others can view them.
All of my pics and folders on photobucket are public, so anyone can view them.
#4 When someone sends me a pdf and I don't even know what that means,sometimes the pages are all in different places.Unlike when I send a scanned picture of page whatever they get a separate email for each page.Maybe this takes up way too much room,Dunno.
PDF = Portable Document Format. It is quite popular as most computers have the reader that can read pdf files.
Another advantage of pdf files is that it can reduce the size of the file without reducing the quality of the image.
I should also say that the person converting the images to pdf can opt for reducing the quality of the conversion (I prefer not to do that).
#6 For me the best thing would be a CD with all the stuff about Pioneers on it excluding what I have already.From that CD I would like to be able to [print a page off and take into the garage if I am working on that specific thing.
Ideally this would be done, but in reality is probably too much work for the person creating the CDs.
If I had to pick and choose different files for different people not only would it take longer, but could get confusing! I would rather just put all of my files onto CDs and let the recipient pick and choose which files they wanted to copy to their hard drive - it shares the work this way and makes it easier for everyone.
#7 Or have everything stored someplace where it is tamperproof and I could print it off as I need it.The only thing I like is the option to zoom in or out and have GOOD CLARITY.I have received copies of IPL's that I could not read whorth a dam.
Mediafire.com is a site that many use. Files are only uploaded once. To share a file, just PM or email the download link to someone.
I have received hard-to-read files as well. Sometimes it is caused by the person doing the scanning, but sometimes it is just because the scanned documents themselves are of poor quality (old, worn, tattered, etc). This is another reason that I always ask for all files from those that I exchange documents with. This allows me compare documents so that I can keep the best quality ones.
Sorry about taking up all this space ,but just had to let you know what I have been mulling over
Thanks
Lawrence
No problem. We appreciate the sharing that you have engaged in and it only takes a few minutes to answer questions so why not?
Anyone like to comment without tearing a strip off the old backside?
Lawrence
I hope I have accomplished that!
Okay so what I have said here is probably already know so maybe I should have just kept quiet.
Nope. If it is already known, that is all the more reason why you should ask. That way we can share the info with you.
