Re: [newbie] EPSOM PERFECTION 2400 PHOTO
I've been using both all afternoon on colour transparencies and quite honestly both do it quite well so far. Not only that but using gimp I have managed in some cases to resore quite a large amount of the mising colour for my old transparencies, where the years have faded the red and the yellow.

RE: [newbie] EPSOM PERFECTION 2400 PHOTO
Is that setup listed on the mandrake site for supported scanners?? perhaps someone should add it if not.. that site is out of date for the most part.. we should all work together to get a more solid picture of supported hardware.. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John Richard Smith Sent: Friday, 27 December 2002 5:52 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] EPSOM PERFECTION 2400 PHOTO No, I have never heard of iscan, does it come from the epsom website ?
