Automatic contrast is fine if you have a fast scanner. My scanner takes about 40 seconds to scan on automatic as opposed to 10 seconds on normal contrast. ......

I just realized I forgot one important point. If you are using Openbook 8, using automatic contrast may slow scans even on a new modern machine. Some users,...
Just a note to say that my experience, with the same modest Microtek scanner I was using with Open Book 7.02, is that Open Book 8 performs scans no more slowly...
