Today I started by reviewing the Wallulahs again, which I will be doing next week as well unless the ABBYY software is fixed. I finished 1961 and started on 1962, however I was asked to do some scans so I wasn't able to make anymore progress.
Since the scans were of paintings in art books, I tried to use The Beast, which I haven't had a lot of experience with. The glass was a little dusty so I tried to clean it with Windex but it left streaks. I was able to get them mostly off with water.
Afterwards, I was able to get everything focused and working properly, however the right page (left camera) was always significantly lighter than the other. The pictures also looked a little dusty/blurry even though I had focused the cameras. I'm not sure if these were calibration/set-up issuse or because the glass was not entirely clean. Shanel said she had a microfiber cloth so I'll try to use that to clean the glass on Monday.
In the end, I decided to use Feynman so I could scan them at a higher resolution which worked well since it captured the detail in the paintings.
