I have to weigh in on the interface - it may not be top-notch graphics design with buttons and shortcuts, but it is IMHO extremely functional and easy to use. I don't need the buttons when I have useful tabs and boxes on the tabs.
I was up and running with it within an hour as I recall, and the results have (almost) always been excellent (exceptions are exceptional frames - my fault, or old film, etc.) I am happy with the interface as is.

You think it's ugly now - you should have seen it a year ago <smile>. It's improving a lot more rapidly than you realize. I just did a count, and there have been 199 releases since March 1999. That's an average of one new version every 5 days for almost three years. > So, have you planned to modernize - at a moment when no new important > scanner is released - the GUI in the future? I plan on continuing to improve it with a new version every 3 or 4 days. I don't plan on revolutionary change, but instead on evolutionary change. For instance, I'm very close to adding dialog boxes for file name selection instead of typing file names. Regards, Ed Hamrick
