Support Notes -  SOHO Scan And Photo Touch-Up Machine (no longer available for license)

 

 

 Alerts

  • SOFTICE/WINICE error ("This program will not run with debuggers installed") can occur with a very small percentage of installations : This issue is described at Microsoft Support (with various fixes).  As well, many documented instances on the Internet show that Nero Burning Software version 6 places the debugger on the PC and that uninstalling NBS 6 easliy removes this problem. We will contact Nero to determine a better solution than uninstalling their product.  [Debuggers are commonly used for reverse engineering]

  • minor alert !  If you happen to install other scanner programs, we have noticed one scanner program that installs itself as a TWAIN source and may disrupt all TWAIN-dependent scanner software, even after it is uninstalled. Fortunately in SOHO Scan Solution, you can easily spot the culprit by clicking "twain source" and changing sources. [you might have to close/open SOHO in order to fully close the errant TWAIN session]. The offending program is highlighted in the image below.

 License

  • "SOHO Scan Solution" and "SOHO Scan And Photo Touch-Up Machine" are no longer available for license.

 

 Limitations

  • for scanners, TWAIN interface used, WIA interface not used.

  • does not handle multipage file formats or GIF format.

  • does not import greater than 1:4 or 4:1 ratio images as product is designed primarily for camera image work and scanner bed image work (with their import standards of 8-1/2 x 11, 8-1/2 x 14, 4 x 3, 16 x 9, 6 x 4, and other).

  • very high dpi scanner settings will require a more powerful pc and it is up to the user to test any very high settings before purchasing this software if they intend to use very high settings.

  • saves in 24-bit color, excellent quality .jpg or .bmp, imports 8-bit b/w, 24 bit color. We recommend test-viewing your "My Pictures" folder images which is selected automatically when you first start the program. You should find the program will import a very wide range of formats besides .jpg and .bmp.

 

 System Requirements

  • Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/NT
