Re: [Digital BW] Scanners?

Jack --

Thanks for the boost. Yup, 30 years at least.

Have you tried the latest SilverFast upgrade? V6 looks pretty much the same 
as V5, but everything works and it doesn't crash. SF includes flexible 
exposure and tonal response adjustments, convenient 16-bit scans, and the 
best curves adjustment dialog I've seen anywhere.
