We have had some test scans made of a pressed flower album, and are mightily
puzzled by the difference in quality when we process the resulting JPGs through
BookReader. There are 2 batches, each taken by different 3rd parties.
For Batch A, the original JPGs are ~3-4MB each, 1524 dpi, 24 bit
Outside the US, there are a number of library-focused consortia essentially
brokered and often bankrolled by central funding agencies. These are
typically driven by funders seeking to make particular services available
to all within their remit in the most cost-efficient manner.
Is that 1524 dpi for Batch A a misprint? If not, that's very likely to be
your problem -- I doubt that's what the vendor really scanned at.
If you change the dpi values and try to reload, my guess is you'll get very
different results.

Hi Kyle, not a misprint. But I may have been a bit obscure. The original JPGs
(of 1524dpi etc) were converted into PDF (using default settings); and it was
from this PDF that the lower quality JPGs were derived. This same process was
used for both Batch A & B.

DPI is suspicious. Guessing both exports treated the input as 150dpi on the
way in regardless of real DPI. Check the resolutions on the >1500dpi images
- to convert for example 1500dpi to 150dpi without losing data you need to
go up 10x in pixels, so for example 200 pixels to 2000. If it didn't
