Do you keep blank pages when rebuilding a scanned manual?
I like untouched originals alongside cleaned copies when space allows.
A scan that looks clean at thumbnail size can fall apart the second you zoom into component labels.
If a diagram crosses the gutter, aggressive cropping can remove the part that connects it. 🤦
