Might want to check that your scanner works with it first, though - I don't know if all of them have the capability (my retirement present to myself was an Epson V800, bought specifically for this little project).
I scan with SF8, but buggered if I can improve the image damage left by the mould? I've just downloaded HDR8 which may be what I should use but it's a bit of a mystery box at the moment. Scanner is compatible (Plus Tek 8200i), any tips gratefully received
