And you were right! As I think I have mentioned on this list before, I
would have thought it would be fairly easy for the scanner software to
identify a few dark spots from the IR scan, and then look for a match in
the 'real' scan. I mean, isn't that what it does (in a different way) for
autofocus..?
It's easy to do this sort of stuff if you're not the programmer..:)
