ORA ET LABORA-WORKING ON THE VULGATE AGAIN

Excited to share this with my followers- 

After releasing the 1901 edition with the black only text, I have begun to focus my efforts on preparing the red and black text edition of 1881 once again.

I'm using some specially designed software to process the raw scans. The program I'm using removes the colored background (this is the color of the original paper), enhances the black and red colors, de-speckles, and crops each image. Then I manually deskew, clean, and repair (when needed) each individual one. It is a very time consuming process that I am thoroughly enjoying. A sample of my work below.
