I am trying out the demo and I have not been impressed either. I am more impressed with NEAT.

FWIW my experiments with the demo of this software left me *very* cold. It seems quite effective on patterned images (eg flatbed scans from textured paper). However, I found it to have little benefit on normal grain - when it was adjusted up enough to be any 'better' than the usual grain softening techniques, it introduced strange vertical streaks and other artefacts. Plus the effect is inconsistent, giving a very odd look to the images. Vuescan's grain removal is far more usable, I think. Maybe I just didn't get the hang of it? But I wasn't all that impressed with their demo images either (is it just me, or does the 'grain' look a little fake..?), so that must be a bad sign. Too fussy, perhaps - but at that price I'd want something a lot better. mt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe' in the title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe' in the title or body
