        What do folks find easiest to use to rotate cd scans and make them look good?

        snartal: If you get obsessive, you'll need a full-strength program like photoshop of the gimp or something, I think, to deal with scratches and moire and all the dumb things that one can worry about instead when one should really go out and eat a pizza instead.

        Yea, thanks, just got a quick photoshop lesson from my son, so gonna use that, glad that it turned out to be somewhat simple.

        it's my understanding that the artist "begin" field is to be used for birthplace in the case of a person

        and my understanding is that artist names should be restricted to those used professionally
      • 2013-08-25 23733, 2013

      • snartal
        Well, you have a point there, as I read the guidelines. Though they might be outdated, from what I've seen discussed here.

        Hibiscus: some people are not ready to stop using legal name artists. See e.g. http://musicbrainz.org/edit/21122712
      • 2013-08-25 23759, 2013

      • Hibiscus
        I remember that discussion.
      • 2013-08-25 23727, 2013

      • Hibiscus
        What I've mentioned in similar discussions is to merge only if the legal name has no ARs attached.
      • 2013-08-25 23753, 2013

      • Hibiscus
        Even that's not enough for some. Remember Kepstin's merge last Christmas?
      • 2013-08-25 23756, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        Oh, I see, yeah, you commented on that one.
      • 2013-08-25 23749, 2013

      • CallerNo6
        I agree with you, if the name is used in ARs then it's worth keeping.
      • 2013-08-25 23757, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        btw, why are Japanese place names on mbz romanized?
      • 2013-08-25 23718, 2013

      • CallerNo6 doesn't remember kepstin's edit, or never saw it (more likely)

        @flamingspinach: I have no idea. Only a handful of editors have the power to add/edit them. Perhaps it's so they can be found more easily?
      • 2013-08-25 23727, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        Hibiscus: we should localize them, they're no different from say musical instruments
      • 2013-08-25 23731, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        except that there's a ton more of them
      • 2013-08-25 23747, 2013

      • Hibiscus
        I don't have the power to change them, so why are you asking me?
      • 2013-08-25 23755, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        I wasn't asking you
      • 2013-08-25 23759, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        I was just asking the channel in general
      • 2013-08-25 23721, 2013

      • Hibiscus
        I suppose you could ask the developers if local names could be implemented when localizing all of MusicBrainz
      • 2013-08-25 23715, 2013

      • flamingspinach
        that's essentially what I'm currently doing :)

        I got kepstin to tell me what he actually does, I have to say, it's a bit addicting deliberately putting things on the scanner wonkily XD

        what kepstin actually does?

        yes, I basically stole his workflow for scanning XD

        well, it was just scanning from gimp, using its rotate thing to straighten things properly and then applying some filters (which I turned into a command line thing)
