Hi Dave,

I also worked on a document capture program which was similar. The main bottleneck is the saving of the images. As the tiff file gets bigger, the saving becomes slower and slower. I would not write directly to a tiff file during the scanning. What I used was a the freeware Qdb database components. I don't recall the exact web site, but if you search on www.google.com for "TQdb and Delphi" you should find it. TQdb is very fast to store raw binary data to disk. You need a temporary store that will not compress the file and have minimum index overhead.

The zooming and antialiasing are another factor, but probably not as significant. You could make this an option in the user interface to give the user a choice.

Best regards,

Michel
