Anyone who ever used a camera or an enlarger, or basically any other
device of that nature, knows that the depth of field is dependent upon
the aperture size. In the case of the enlarger (or film scanner) the
depth of field of the focus range depends upon the length of the light

At the risk of stating the obvious, your display problem sure looks like the

Hi Mike,
It's actually happening either with OptiCal on or off. You can definitely
see that OptiCal is loading because the monitor changes color as the splash

fact that the monitors seem to be running
