WOW!! thank you so much for this Tulon. A few years in the waiting has been worth the wait

Hi Tulon,

Sometimes, when i quickly jump between stages 2 and 4, or 2 and 6 whilst i make fine tune adjustments, STexp will crash.

Thank you Tulon. I'm glad you are back. I had thought ST was discarded by new owner. I wish to ask if it is possible at all in the "Margin" stage to program the following. I'm not a programmer so don't know the difficulty involved but will ask in any case. The "select content" stage will have automa...

ok - i did another test between ST9.11.1 64bit and STexperimental this time to measure speed/performance using Tulon's new OpenCL setting to use my GTX gaming card. 165 pages scanned at 300 dpi i processed this book identical settings using both ST versions above ST9.11.1 was set to 300 DPI output S...

Most of the changes in the new version have to do with OpenCL support (check the Settings dialog). Don't expect any miracles from it though. I have GTX gamer card and just checked the settings - changed to use my GTX rather than default onboard graphics. All i can say is WOW!! I heavily use 9.11.1 ...

It works well however I am not sure if it is just me but the "Page Layout" section when selecting "apply to all pages" does not seem to work or take effect. That was indeed a bug. I fixed it and made a new release . Most of the changes in the new version have to do with OpenCL support (check the Se...
