When using Vuescan (with SS4000), I notice that I do not get a crop file if I uncheck the raw compression box. Is this supposed to happen and, if so, why? Also, is it customary to work with the cropped files rather than the raw files? Chris

Bankruptcy doesn't entail an end to service agreements, etc. It merely puts creditors on hold. True, one would like to deal with a company that is solid financially. I think Polaroid will probably make some radical cuts -- the usual get lean and mean approach. I've also hear that the company
