Regarding resolution and sharpness, it's a huge improvement compared to the other scan. A few minutes of alteration on the new scan blows away the other one as you can clearly see below. Still, It's going to need major repair and cleaning. Your scanner isn't doing this artwork any justice. The different scans are not matching up well in color, brightness etc. It's great for someone like me who would take the time to match it all, repair and clean it for low res MAME artwork.

If I were you I would take it to a good print shop and get it scanned in one pass on a pro machine at 600dpi. Then have someone you know with a good work portfolio restore/repair that scan. Your present scans aren't ideal, however they can definitely be used to make a print.

Thanks for sharing that scan Paul. It's really appreciated. Do I have your permission to make some MAME artwork from that and post it for the public?

Hi,
Here's a scan of the taped up broken glass, 300DPI 24-bit raw uncompressed. Alas, I lost access to the Xerox so this is from an old Microtek A3 flat.

Is that any better as a starting point?

Thanks,
Paul.

the sideart has been done in vectors, perhaps "loan" some things from that to speedup the vector ?

I dont have the time to vector it, sorry

Yep. That's the scan I used from Etienne and my finished MAME artwork. Both IMO, completely unsuitable for printing. A vector would need to be done if that scan is the only available source. A vector would be marvelous to see, but preferably a proper scan from another bezel to make it as close to original as possible as there are small details you simply will not get reproduced in a vector. Example, look at the Gorillas fur. A vector of that would end up a huge mess no matter who works on it. It's a good thing you have the actual bezel in your possession Paul.

Hi,
Bela kindly sent me the raw files, http://www.zzzaccaria.com/temp/CrazyKongMonitorGlassFromBela.zip

Do you think it's usable Joeks? I'll still pull mine and scan as well as another reference.

Thanks,
Paul.
