PROS

1) Perfect automatic deskewing, amazing
2) Quite good automatic content selection, draws a bounding box around text & graphics in a page
3) Crisp text rendering even with hig levels of zooming, despeckle ok.
4) Allows for repositioning of selected contents, centered, left,...
5) Easy to use

CONS

1) Non parametrizable at all
2) Lacks of a cleaning feature
3) No pdf/djvu output, just individual tiff of pages
4) Works well with text with graphics (for instance, technnical papers), tested with a comic was a failure, some automatic feature cropped parts of the pages.

NOTES

Splitting feature not tested

Regards.

PD: I like your signature very much! I use Kile instead of texcenter and Scientific Linux instead of Ububntu (this is gonna change soon)
Update / correction

With comics manual modes work much better, the annoying effect was due to automatic content selection. Turn it to manual and modify the bounding box by yourself.

Regards
