It would improve the quality of catawiki if only scans of comics are posted… not, for example, a photo of a comic where you can still see a large part of the table it is on.
Minimum quality requirement?

We prefer to have scans of comics instead of photos. Because scans are more beautiful and clearer. But… we still prefer a photo to no image at all. So nice in itself if someone adds a photo. Then it can always be changed later in a scan. This principle also applies to the quality requirement for a scan: rather a low resolution and small format than no scan at all. But we prefer it, as also described in our Help under the heading Catalog: We recommend a size of the photo of 700 pixels wide so that users can zoom in on the photo. Images must be added in one of the following formats: .jpg, .gif or .png.

I took the liberty of adjusting and straightening the picture for Tintin au Congo.
In my opinion, description does not belong to a quality story, but that is a different discussion

I removed that. Quality stories belong in the description to books in your own collection. Maybe the importer got lost for a while.

Well done Jilles. Good to know that you can do that too, always handy :-)
And the condition of your own book does not belong in the catalog, but in the Notes field in your own collection.

I want to add some Hulk album backs, but the album is wider than my scanner.
How can I make a good scan of the back cover?

If the book is a bit wider then I scan it, if the book is much wider, then I take a picture (from the top right)

A great (perhaps better) alternative is to scan the album in two parts and merge the images using, for example, HP Photosmart Premier (panorama).

With a simple program such as Paint, which is standard on the PC, you can also merge two scans.
I also had to do this with the first edition of Don Bosco van Jijé, with a reasonable result I think.
