What “Public Beta” means

Ready to use. Not finished.

The beta does everything on the features page, with some rough edges. Read the known issues, and keep backups of your scans and of the catalog.

How updates work

Fixes arrive about once a week (0.9.2, 0.9.3…) inside the app. Version 1.0 on Nov 17 adds a sample roll to practice on, more lessons and What’s New after each update. Updates keep your catalog and edits.

Before you begin

Made for camera scanning.

A digital camera, a macro lens, a steady film holder and an even light. Flatbed and lab scans work too, as positives.
