Hello my fellow Coin talk comrades, specifically my comrades adapted in the art of Photoshop; I am currently scanning all my bank notes to keep a digital database, but this task rapidly became an ordeal. Is there a simple way to adjust a banknote to 90 degrees? It’s always off a couple of degrees and I have to manually highlight the banknote then adjust the angle by hand, but is there a way to do this automatically? Thanks a bunch
Where do you put the notes in the scanner? When I scan any paper money I always put it at the top of the scanner (right at the edge) and it always comes out straight.
If I corner the note on the scanner bed side, I find that the scanner will automatically crop out a tinny slither of image. The part lost is normally the entire banknote edge so I tend to give the bank note a millimeter to get the entire banknote.
Yes, if you don't wish to do any of the manual steps to perfectly rotate the image as scanned, should you not be able to scan the note in the direction your image file will come out in the appropriate position for viewing, then you should set up an "Action", record the steps of any series of moves you do over and over again, then with the click of one button you can do any number of actions including save and close the file. Actions have their own palatte, just open that, select new action, go through the steps you need to record, then save the Action. The new Action will appear in a list of Actions, select that, open the next file, click "play" et Voila! Photoshop Actions As a side note, you can create Actions and Scripts to share with others. Some Photoshop users actually 'sell' these on their websites. For instance if there is a particular photo imaging look-and-feel that's popular and can be applied to any image, a user can load the Action and apply the effects to their images.Check out sites like Action Centralor ShutterFreaks among others.
