Yes, Collin, that's what I was thinking of. I wasn't so much concerned with
being able to using the scanning PC while it was scanning. I can move to
my laptop to work on something else, or go get a snack or make a phone
call.
As you say, I'd just like to be able to batch scan a strip of frames with
pre-entered manual settings for cropping and image processing. VueScan's
batch scanning is very nice if you're using the automatic options for those
features, but I prefer to set them myself. Consequently I'm tied to the
computer for a couple of hours when I could be doing something else.
Best wishes,
Tim Victor
