Can be used for getting faster images on censuses but more useful for scanning more quickly through the BMD........ Cannot be adjusted until you get up your first image but then works for subsequent searches........ Bring up your first image........... In the bar above click on options(blue box with red tick in it)......... select Image enhancing - Original scan....... select Image Compression - standard quality....... leave the next two options as they are........ The images will from then on appear more rapidly........ If the images do look unclear you can always revert to the original settings by clicking on options above the image again to enhance......... I searched thro 15 years of bmd tonight in half the time and did not find one image I could not read clearly.......... It works for censuses too Kat |

Thanks for this great tip. Once you have changed it it works for the census pics as well and you can always change it back if necessary. Liz |

Brilliant tip, thank you so much! Could have done with it a couple of weeks ago when I trawled 20 years worth of death records... (and still didn't find the b*gger lol) |

This is SUCH a time-saver, I can't believe how much more I got through last night! As others have said, everything is still legible. It is especially useful now that I am going through looking for my rellies deaths in the 20th century, which I haven't bothered with until now because the cost that would have been involved if I'd used 1837 Online. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! Carole |
