Even with formal documents, Ed's habit of upgrading about weekly, from adding 
new scanners to serious 'under the hood' 
improvements means reading the release notes is at least useful, if not 
necessary. I don't follow AG's program, and 
upgrade every day, or week, or even month. I do try to check the release notes 
regularly. If the notes don't show 
anything of use to me, I don't bother to update.

In fact, I just updated, and added it as a monthly repeating event on my 
calendar.

If you check his home page, you will find a formal book exists.

It does talk about Kodachrome IR cleaning, albeit briefly. I've temporarily put 
a PDF of the relevant page on my site.

I found that PSCS6 didn't find my scanners under File=>Import, and finally 
looked it up in Adobe online help. They 
offered a plug-in that fixes that. What was interesting, though, was that they 
say that they don't see PS as a scanning 
tool, and recommend one use either VueScan (with link) or the software that 
comes with the scanner for serious scanning.

FWIW, I was scanning some really seriously weak pencil writing, and the Canon 
TWAIN driver did a much better job than 
VS. at pulling it up.
