I changed the page to have thumbnails.

I have been doing more testing and the problem is reproducible even when I am scanning something as small as 603x610 pixels at 900 DPI.  I also tried scanning in gray scale at more than 900 DPI and it appears that the image is clipped at the right boundary.

I can live with this, but, I'd like to help fix it.  Any advice?


Many thanks,



Jeff
