Comparison Screenshot of a Too-Dark Scans Improved with New Scanning Settings
Description
As targets are a consistent item and we know what it should look like when scanned accurately, it can be a helpful quick tool to confirm when equipment isn't performing as desired. In this instance, scans were looking too dark but it wasn't obvious the added contrast was problematic on all materials. The target and FADGI testing here is helpful in diagnosing baseline performance, and led to exploring simple adjustments to improve accuracy with collaborators who do their own digitization work in the library.
