RE: filmscanners: New PolaColor Insight Color Slide profile for Sprintscan 4000 & 4 000+

[Frank Parrotta <fparrotta@tscwo.com>]

I concur!  I bought the SS4K shortly after it came out for Much $$$.  But I
was willing to pay the price because of David's support to this list.  I had
a great deal more confidence that the software would get timely upgrades and
that the product's problems would get addressed than I had with other
vendors' offerings.  I also agree with the comments regarding Insight and
Vuescan.  Insight has matured considerably over the period I've had the
scanner and the upgrade cycle of Vuescan as well as Ed's responsiveness is
nothing short of phenomenal.  My $0.02.  Thanks to both David and Ed.

This is another example of why I'm glad I purchased an SS4000.
David Hemingway of Polaroid is the only representative of any
of the scanner vendors that I've seen participate on this
list and support users of the product.
I'm also pleased with the improvements Polaroid have made in
PolaColor Insight. I pretty much use that and Vuescan. I haven't
launched Silverfast in months (and I was silly enough to purchase
it before it was bundled - no way will I pay to upgrade it).
