If, instead of using the bundled software, you get something like VueScan [1] then you should be able to acquire directly from the device (if it's supported; VueScan supports something like 1200 scanners) in your favourite RAW format. You're still limited by the quality of the optics in the device, but at least you'll be able to do all your own processing. -- [1] http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html - though it's not free software -- Stephen Bain [email protected] _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
