Is anyone else having problems getting Jason Drake's Stamp Image Bursting app to run? I suddenly started getting an "Unable to launch the application" message. I uninstalled and reinstalled both this app and Java with no luck. The Contact button on Jason's site does not work, and I don't know how to find him on any forums. Anybody here have any ideas what I can try? (His site is white-listed in my Java app settings.)

Next question: Does anyone know of another program that performs this operation? I have PostmasterGS's StampFix which includes this function, but I have never been able to get it adjusted to work satisfactorily.

youpiao , What, exactly, does it do? I’m not exactly sure if I would want one of my stamps to “burst”!

It is a tremendous time saver when scanning stamps for my HipStamp store.

If you'd like to try it, it's a free app downloadable at www.drakeserver.com
I was hoping maybe it was a case of the latest java update obsoleting his code, but I tried installing an older version of java, with no luck.

Just shoot me an image you'd like to use as a test and I'll make you a short video walkthrough.

PMGS,

No need, now. I think I've finally mastered it. I found it helps to not only adjust the Threshold, but to also set the bounding box minimum size to a large enough number to eliminate most, if not all, of the "stamps within stamps" that the app might delineate.
The few sample scans I tested work great now. Thank you very much for this app.
