Well, after many flip-flops, it came in today.
Had a few problems getting it to install (99% sure it's the laptop, not the X4). Restarted laptop and it installed correctly the second time around. :rolleyes:
Spent the day catching up to the new/different/pretty icons that replaced the old ones (not sure what was wrong with the paint brush or the eraser etc...):confused:
Started noticing small nuances (notice how closely that's spelled to nuisances) for instance the thumbnails in my directories diplay better idea of what's in the X4 files than the X3 directories displayed. I liked that, but did I tell you they changed all the icons?
First thing was to go through the customizing again - then I went in and deleted all those pesky page sizes for German and Japanese papers. A lot easier to swap between the four sizes I use now.
I really like the trace updates. Played with lots of documents that we scanned in the past and I sat there hand drawing them, recalled the original images and ran the trace on them... Darn, that was a lot quicker than I did it and with close to similar results. :eek: Well, enough of that, it's making me wish I'd gotten it sooner.
Bottom line - Is it something I would have bought without the upgrade? Don't think so for the cost - do believe so for the shortcuts added - yet - it's growing on me after a day already. I'm just glad it was offered as a free upgrade with my last purchase of software.
Anyway - just thought I'd drop my two cents on the upgrade.
