Let's face it, there is a lot of bad advice here. Basically you should consider 2 formats when scanning: JPEG which uses a lossy compression and TIFF where you may use one of the lossless compressions. Consider TIFF as the archival format at 16 bits/colour/pixel. JPEG, besides the compression, has the disadvantage to store only 8 bits per colour channel. That's enough for a final picture but not one where you intend to do still some adjustments. with TIFF you are filling up your disk space. So now scanning: Best is to use the scanner software's possibilities to do a basic adjustment of your scan, like histogram adjustments. As with your digital camera, if you get the settings right immediately with the scan you will be ok. If you want the data to be archived, what is my understanding of this, then you need to use the best physical quality your scanner can do. Use dust removal carefully and it's best when there is hardware support for this. If dust removal is done by software, you're best using your post-processor (GIMP, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Corel Paintshop (?),...) for this. Your Post-processor should be able to work non-destructively. Use colour management through the chain to stay consitent with your colours. The best profile to use is ProPhoto RGB. The final JPEG, however, should be saved as sRGB. If your scanner and post-processor is not able to handle colour profiles then you are using the wrong tool. The whole process, until the final JPEG for viewing/printing/fast access takes a lot of time. You shouldn't be in a hurry for the scan job or the clean-up job.

You may get it wrong, and because of that you need to "correct" the code and even ask the programmer to fix it. I would do so!

:laugh: It took me a while... and even that I haven't written a line of code in years, I found the mistake. This is the reason why I started coding "if" constructs (and the like) with empty bodies even when they where short.

if()
{
}
else
{
}

Only after that I filled in what had to be filled in.

A corporate lawyer once told in a seminar that before you sue, you need first looking if your target has cash. If not, it is not worth to sue (well a few exceptions apply)!

According to wikipedia: In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is any quadrilateral with four right angles. Sorry, but there is no room for rounded corners... :laugh: :-D . Splitting hairs is one of the favourite pass times for lawyers! But now, I think that Samsung can sue Apple for using a 16:9 aspect ratio! :omg:

No! According to new findings in a soon to be published article, Al Gore created the Universe and got robbed of it from the Dark GWB!

Don't joke: rounded rectangles? That can't exist! Either they are rounded or rectangles!

Let me answer this: When the parties file for bankruptcy and get closed!

I'm using the iPhone, but I would support a ban in the US - so all the supplies would go to Europe! :mad::cool::suss: :-D ;P

I'm sorry but a lot of the answers made me laugh... By definition any number that has been multiplied by 5 is divisible by 5. So the solution is: x=random(low_limit, high_limit)*5; no need to check this! The five digit condition is a little bit more complicated, because it is not clearly defined. is 00005 a five digit number by this definition? Low limit will then be 0, high limit 19999 (the highest 5 digit number fullfilling the condition is 99995). To get a number that is divisable by 5, the ending needs to be 0 or 5. If you need checking, the modulo division is correct.
