Just a quick and probably stupid question: does Vuescan support the GEM
features of the Minolta Scan Multi Pro? Given my past excellent
experiences with Vuescan, I assume it does, but it pays to ask...

Thanks,

Hamish

Vuescan can't support GEM of any scanner, because it is a software only
solution for reducing grain. Vuescan has it's own grain reduction
mechanism, bit I guess it is not as sophisticated as GEM. I didn't
really compare the two, because I prefer to use Noise Ninja or NeatImage
to clean up my images if necessary.

Thanks. I should have realised this...

I'd use NeatImage if it worked on a Mac (which is what I use for
imaging); ditto (probably) for Noise Ninja. Oh well...

From the Neat Image website: "Neat Image works in Windows, in a PC emulator
on Mac (a native version is under development), under Wine in Linux and
other i386 flavors of Unix".

Yeah, I read that, but it doesn't yet work native on a Mac, and my Mac
(G5) won't do PC emulation... and my old Linux boxes are barely able to
run a web server, let alone something like NeatImage :-).
