It's a concept that has been around long before Foveon. There are many technical issues that may prevent it from "really" working, but the definition of "working" is highly subjective. > Personally, I hope to see it applied to film scanners. The resolution will never be near that of a typical linear sensor. It wouldn't be a scanner then either ;-) Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
