Hello. I'm hoping for some clarification for why two of my scans were removed from the galleries the other day. I scan a lot and submit a lot of scans here, so this rather concerns me.
The two images are Weekly Shounen Jump covers for issues 46 and 48, scanned at 300 dpi.

Quote: - The image dimensions were too small. Only scans with 1,000,000 or more pixels are allowed. You can calculate the amount of pixels by multiplying the width of the image with the height.
- The scan contains excessive artifacts. This includes, but is not limited to, page folds, dust, noise, text or other markups on the image. Scanned images need to be scanned at least at 200dpi to conform to the quality demands required on Minitokyo.
- The image was too blurred. Only sharp scans are accepted. Please do not attempt to 'filter' scans in Photoshop, as this usually further reduces quality.
- The featured character was not visible enough, or unusable for wallpaper purposes.
-The majority of the image features either blank space, magazine text, or multiple under-sized images.
- The scan did not feature an anime-style image. See this announcement for more information: http://forum.minitokyo.net/showthread/35992/
I've never had a problem with scanning at 300 DPI from WSJ before, or with saving too low quality. And neither
image was altered (blurred or denoised or leveled).
Both images were submitted in full, despite excessive text around the usable portions. But I believe the text to be extraneous, as the usable portion within the text still fits within Minitokyo's size guidelines. (Crop of 46, crop of 48.)
So I'm wondering what I'm not seeing, and asking for a reevaluation. I do try to submit useful scans to the gallery when I can and I thought these were appropriate. Please let me know so I can better distinctions in the future, and thank you for your time!
