Obtaining High-Resolution Images ⟨User:Fynnjamin [#10182]

Hi Fynnjamin,
first thank you for all the work you do for IMSLP. I think you upload by far the most scores.
I've realized, that you upload quite many scans from SLUB.
The scans you can download there and from many other library sites as well are usually much lower in resolution than the ones these libraries hold.
I have written a simple JAVA program that you can use to get the original high resolution scans from sites like SLUB, BLB, BnF and a few others. The usage is described here where you can also download the program.
I've uploaded some manuscript scans again taken with this program from SLUB. So you can have a look at the difference.
I would really appreciate if you could try and use this program, because the scans obtained are of really much higher quality.
Thank you in advance.

Oh, great work! Thanks. Not sure I will be able to do much with my current dinosaur of a computer, but I'll try. Thanks, Fynn
