Re: Edison Std D Reproducer Change Labels
Here's a first try, but I notice that the Form No. and date in the lower left are a bit out of focus. I left everything set up, so I'll try another and use aperture priority.

Re: Edison Std D Reproducer Change Labels
Here's my crack at flattening George's image. Not perfect, but my Photoshop skills are not as great as they could be.

Re: Edison Std D Reproducer Change Labels
Is there some old fashioned print shops around that can print this out. I know it will add to the cost though. It looked good to me and I suspect that once it is shellacked into the lid I do not think other people will notice a few imperfections. When I look at a phonograph I do not study the lid label. Tom B

Re: Edison Std D Reproducer Change Labels
I have a friend who is a graphic designer. I might be able to see if he'll do this. I also have a mint label on a machine, but my label is a lot less orange/yellow than that one. I guess the oils haven't gotten to it yet.

Re: Edison Std D Reproducer Change Labels
Unfortunately the Photoshop version still unpleasantly elongates the "Change of Reproducers" text. I've been trying on my own for a bit and have not been successful either.
I have showed this to a friend that does graphics for "Naked and Afraid". He had some success with the earlier angled shot. He ended up using Adobe's After Effects in a test run to un-warp the image. I'd say that George's last shot at f22 would be simpler to work with. Even with all that graphic fire power, it will still require quite a bit of fiddling to get it looking right.
This seems like it should be such a simple thing, yet over the years it has always stumped me on some level. If anyone has an accident and squashes their lid flat, please let me know.

Martin
