Digital BW, The Print

Hallo,

We don't know what is done - but both sharpnes and resolution are 
kept and are great! Colour better etc.
Did they have an sharpening algorithm buid in earler, that could not 
be switched off combined with bad algorithms? I don't care - I do 
really like that soft/scanner now - better in many aspects over 
VueScan!

Listening to MINOLTA the software is totaly rewritten though most of 
the human interface looks the some. Some tings are added!

Fiat Lux!
Bo
