Carl,
Scanners are only as good as their software. You might see if LaserSoft
is selling a software upgrade for the Polaroid but I don't think that they
are. That is the reason I didn't go to the Polaroid (I am still waiting for
either the LaserSoft software or the next Nikon upgrade). Good luck and
keep checking out the LaserSoft site.
