Kodak have today put out a couple of press releases highlighting a couple of areas that will be important to s1220 operators. The one that has caught my attention is the announcement of new software - version 3.6.2 - promising some major new features. If these work well it will save us hours.
First, content based auto rotation. If this delivers it means we'll be able to feed in photos any way round and the s1220 software will take care of correcting orientation. On Friday afternoon we scanned 750 photos and it took ages to flip through putting each the right way round. Leaving this to Kodak would be a delight.
The second area that will help us is described as scanning to CD / DVD. I was amazed when we first ran our s1220 to find the software didn't include a facility to burn a disc with the images. So we've been using Nero for this. It works but its fiddly and time consuming. I'll be pleased if we can burn a disc straight from Scan the World.
All in all this release could be the biggest step forward in s1220 scanning. I'm looking forward to Monday and loading the new software.
