    That’s one of the two? things left that are keeping me on Windows. Photoshop being the other one that I can remember.

    I’ve got hundreds of old photos to scan, and a trial of lots of scanning software on Linux showed that the Windows software is currently superior. If I wasn’t using Photoshop too I could probably use a VM. Seeing as I need to be in Windows anyway, I’m sticking with that setup until the photos are scanned.

    For anyone wondering, I found that scanning under Linux left the colours slightly ‘off’. It’s easy to fix, but has to be done individually, so doing it for that many photos would add way too much time to the project. It’s faster to stick with Windows until they’re scanned.

      Sad but true. I’d even accept inferior software if I could find anything that works halfway decently. It’s really a shame. Just shows that nobody who works on Linux runs a small business.
