OK, I haven't used a recent version. I didn't know about that.

I think you missed my point. The physical alignment of the Agfa and Acer 
scanners I have seen is excellent. When the software is right you just 
cannot detect any colour fringing, at any resolution. If the software 
has been broken for a while, then either the fix was not a 100% one, or 
your scanner has a physical alignment problem.Maybe I should try the CVS 
version, and see what happens.
