your pic has a watermark, so not usable, so found and attached pics of #1 and 2. couldn't find as good of pic of #1, so got what I could so at least CPG has one.

How about that. I finally get a book posted and it shows up with a watermark. I scanned my cover and my cover has no watermark, so I do not know how that happened. Thanks for having my back--LISA

well that's weird. I thought I remembered you said you had a scanner, so wondered why there's a watermark, but figured maybe there was some scanning prob and you got a pic from elsewhere. not sure how that watermark name can appear like that. I've scanned lots of comics and never had a ghost image show up. I thought maybe if the scanner was new it might have a protective film over the glass with that name on it, but you'd see that before you scanned. is it possible you have a setting for scans that automatically adds a watermark of your choosing that accidentally got turned on? usually I think those are in a pic editing program that adds watermarks when you do the editing IF you want to, not the scanning, so maybe something got clicked unintentionally if you did any size or other editing after saving the scan. guess you can try another scan of some darker cover and see it it gets that watermark too, so you can read the whole name, maybe that will help figure it out.

As you know I am trying very hard to get these scans right. I had found a site that had step by step instructions on how to reduce the size of the .jpg file. I followed the instructions and everything worked. I guess that site put the watermark on the image. I will not use them again, truthfully, I don't remember what site I was on. I think I will wait until my son-in-law comes over with the time to teach me to do this.--LISA

sounds like the site was the culprit, but they shouldn't be adding watermarks without warnings or choice, so kinda odd if they did that. most scanning programs will let you size the initial scan to something more manageable than the standard huge size, so maybe you all can get that figured out. to reduce the file size alone, after reducing the physical size/dimensions, I use this .jpg/png reduction site: https://tinypng.com/
it's totally free, don't even have to sign up or give them an email, nothing to download, and it's fast. you click the upload button, find your pic file on your computer and 'open' it and it will upload it, and the site will run it thru their compression program, and reduce stuff 40-50% file size with no clarity loss. then you click 'download' on their finished list, and save it back to your computer. You can do multiples at a time too. There's multiple online fuller image editing sites that are free, so keep looking around. Don't know which to recommend as I have my own windows photo editing program, so haven't needed to use any of the online ones except for tinypng.com.
