Hi, I was wondering if I could ask a question of the Nikon Scanner folks. I am preparing to install version 3.1.2 on my W2K machine. I know you are supposed to uninstall the previous version and then run the regsweep program. My question is the following: I did not get a regsweep.exe file

Maybe I'm not looking at the images correctly but the _entire_ Nikon 4000 frame looks out of focus. Is this a fair test - to compare an out-of-focus Nikon scan to an in-focus Canon scan? Brian -- respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

Todd, I have experimented with the radius setting. However, when I reduce the radius enough to eliminate the halo, I do not get much sharpening. Also, this white line (halo, if you will) does not occur everywhere - just certain areas where a black boundary is net to a light area. At least it
