Rick,
That's not all that much memory, really – depends totally on how big the
area you are trying to scan. Let's say that you're scanning a 678×480
image. That's 768x480x4 bytes for the image, and 768x480x4 bytes for the
undo buffer, if you use one. Which turns out to be 1.47 megabytes each,
for a total of 2.94 megs. TO this you add the memory that IM takes, the
memory that Metascan takes… and 10 megs might not be enough. Some scans
are MUCh larger than 768×480; it's just a flick of the wrist to scan an
image that would take ten megs all by itself.
