I use Irfanview for all of my image chores. In addition to all of the
things mentioned, I use the panorama feature to make composites of maps
local with regional views. I use it for the software front end for my
scanner. I use it to create multi-page tif files when I have scan multi
page documents. (I have a flat bed scanner) In this way I can fax one
file with several pages, not multiple faxes to get all of the pages sent.

I have all of the filters installed and use them occasionally in trying
to read tombstones. I do a lot of genealogy research.


Keith, I am in the process of looking for a flatbed scanner. I'm looking
mostly at the Canon 8800 or 5600, but haven't settled on one yet.

Any recommendations?

(Or from anyone else, for that matter.)

Also, the idea of using Lview as a front end for the scanner sounds
intriguing. I hope I can get more information once I get the scanner.
