Re: filmscanners: Polaroid Insight vs. Silverfast AI vs. Vuescan

Sure, it is posible to work with, more or less, ad the results are - at
least in b&w (thats all I do) - very good, but there are several things that
would make scanning much more pleasant. I will make a small list of "update
suggestions" when I have some time, maybe on th week-end, so far jsut one
example: the preview should be visible from all menues - and it would be
nice to be able to rotate it with 2 buttons with arrows on it, and 2 further
to flip them horizontally and vertically, this is just more intuitive and
faster.

But of course it is normal that some like the GUI more than others. I
repeat, I know that Ed does a very fine job on providing free upgrades at a
very fast rate, but nothing is perfect...

Bernhard

I have to weigh in on the interface - it may not be top-notch graphics
design with buttons and shortcuts, but it is IMHO extremely functional and
easy to use.  I don't need the buttons when I have useful tabs and boxes on
the tabs.

I was up and running with it within an hour as I recall, and the results
have (almost) always been excellent (exceptions are exceptional frames - my
fault, or old film, etc.)
