Wow.  That would save me months of spotting.  I could just scan and 
put them up.  Do you really think it's ok to show all of the 
flaws?  I can see your point that it's part of history, but it makes 
me want to get out the healing brush and go to work!  Maybe I should 
leave them alone for the time being and just get them all scanned and posted.
