[filmscanners] Re: Vuescan 7.4: IR cleans raw scan ...

["Bob Shomler" <bob@shomler.com>]

I asked Ed for an option to write raw file including IR channel.  He hasn't 
responded yet, not surprising with all his recent release activity (not as 
urgent as some of the just-announced fixes in 7.4.2).  For now I'm scanning and 
producing raw files with 7.3.13 then processing them with 7.4.x.

In addition to the 'departure from Ed's philosophy for always making "raw" 
scans available to future releases' that you mention, I would think Ed would 
want a way for his users to be able to capture and send him small raw files as 
a diagnostic when someone has an IR clean problem (with a future new scanner), 
as well as being able to redo older files with sure-to-happen Vuescan IR 
cleaning enhancements.
