- I'd recommend ADPro just (not only) because of the fact that it
- directly supports scanner-software from within the normal
- user-interface. You don't have this in ImageMaster. But beware that
- ADPro needs a lot of RAM. Think of 10-12 MB or more. And finally
- don't forget that you'll need the Professional Conversion Pack which
- includes TIFF-Savers and -loaders.
