I cannot get graded or ungraded cards to scan nicely and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I don’t know if the lack of clarity and the lines are a problem with the scanner or something I don’t have set right. I’ve seen other threads on here in the past with similar or identical settings and they look fantastic. Even ignoring the lines, I don’t seemingly have nearly the clarity of other scans. Feeling super frustrated right now…

With these settings I’m getting this on an ungraded and graded card. Adding color restoration and/or backlight correction doesn’t fix the lines or the fuzziness

if I turn off sharp mask and dust removal it looks almost the same but actually worse somehow
