Dear Chris,

I apologies for the delay. I have been on vacation and was planning to continue working on

Envision, but I took the time off instead.

About the scanning, you should not run it from the IDE; I have had that problem before; I

think the twain message loop interferes with the IDE. Most scanners will return ifColor256

with gray scale images. A gray scale image is really a color image, where the palette

entries have the same R, G, and B values. The only way to know for sure is to look at the

palette.

For reading the TIFF file with JPEG compression, I'm not sure what the error you are

receiving is. The first possibility is that the exception is raised internally and handle by

the library itself. Does the TIFF file load properly with the compiled Demo.EXE program?

Best regards,

Michel
