eXTRASCAN, for the EPSON ES 800 series of scanners, incorporates a number of highly advanced features not available with other scanner drivers. eXTRASCAN's Multichoice Panel presents the user with four versions of a prescanned image. The user can adjust color balance, brightness and contrast, and see the changes updated on the screen in real time. After comparing the adjustments with the original, the user need only double click the desired version, and eXTRASCAN automatically performs the scan using the appropriate settings. eXTRASCAN also features an Autoscale Panel which automatically calculates the optimum scanning resolution for the user's particular needs. GS Corporation has also developed a version of eXTRASCAN for the Canon CJ10 Color Copier. eXTRASCAN was awarded a "Four Cube" rating by NeXTWorld magazine last fall. eXTRASCAN has a suggested list price of $495 and is available now as a Multiple Architecture Binary application.

The program will run for 10 minutes in demo mode. This is a pre-release version (at the time this demo was prepared). For information on the latest version of eXTRASCAN, feel free to contact us. If you are unable to obtain a scanner for the testing purposes, refer to the screen dumps included on this palette. There are extensive notes describing each of the features shown in the screen dumps. To view these notes, choose Inspector from the Element menu.
