- I spent a lot of money when I purchased Art Department Pro complete
- with the Epson ES-300c and scanner software just to find none of
- it works worth beans.
-
- First off: The scanner support....
-
- Looks nice, but does it work? Well, as long as you don't mind disabling
- interrupts during each scan and your computer doesn't sport a 040
- processor, you may find it acceptable. However I'm running on a network
- which can't afford disabled interrupts, and their software doesn't like
- my 040 machine.
-
- The funny thing about the 040 problem is that they're not handling
- the cache correctly. The 040 has been around too long now for any
- excuse on this one.
-
- I called ASDG tech support. The answer, "We're working on it". Not the
- answer I expected. They should've been working on this last year.
- I would have been understanding last year when the 040's first
- came out.
-
- As for Art Department Pro.....
-
- I've never seen a image yet that didn't need a little smoothing or
- sharpening in certain areas of the image. With ADPro it's all or
- nothing. That's right you can't do that. You have to smooth the whole
- picture or smooth none at all. All operations within ADPro work this
- way. What a worthless piece of software when compared to ImageMaster.
