Thanks Guys, The reason I asked about the scans, is many of the pictures I view on AAPK are dark. I was
thinking my computer might be going bad. Maybe I should email myself some pictures.

AWESOME KNIFE!!!!

I do not use my scanner.......but i think i remember someone here(dale v.???maybe) suggested
that using a MANILLA ENVELOPE as back ground (because of color i guess?) works best/cuts GLARE/REFLECTIONS............ worth a shot..... :mrgreen: ::tu::
