I'm not sure what you mean but I guess full resolution is the maximum 
hardware resolution of the scanner? If so then what is 'half ccd' 
resolution?

So I just do scans at full resolution of the white background and alter 
the shading offset until it evens out? Should be no problem....

Is this method you are talking about the large function added under 
canonlide35 in the send_shading_coefficients? If so I will try if i get 
time but as my hand in date is coming up I may not get time...

I should have the patch sent out to you by the end of the day, i'll 
include pierre, you and the people who also have the scanner for a bit 
of testing.

Also does this mean I can add my name to the developer list at the top 
of the genesys files :)  ?

Thanks
