>>One thing I would suggest is that you experiment more with better lighting on the copy stand if you are using Digiview. I'm still working on getting a copy stand. I'm living in Russia, and haven't found one here yet. I checked around the local photo shops before I came here, and they didn't have anything under a few hundred. Currently, I'm using a swivel head tripod looking down and a couple of table lamps. >>They used to recommend fluorescent light but I never got good results with that. I use at least 2 regular 100 watt light bulbs. This will give you less of the light fall off problem. Even with my two table lamps, at 60 Watts each, I seem to do better than with fluorescent or camera light. The camera light wouldn't be bad except that the diffuser makes prominent rings. What I would like to find are some of those clamp on sockets with the cone-like reflectors (high tech talk huh?). >>ImageMaster will clean out those stray pixels for you. ImageMaster also has a Line Art and an Edge Line function. Per the advice of others, I looked and found a Remove Stray Pixel function in my Adpro. It worked pretty good. I've tried the Line Art operater in Adpro, but it resulted in pretty thick lines – not what I need at the moment. What kind of results do you get with the Edge Line function of ImageMaster? Bruce PS Thanks for your previous advice.
