Does anyone has experience with InsideScan? Just implemented taking pictures with a webcam and it works flawless. Takes picture, crops it 3:4 portrait and saves it to disk under a specific name. Very nice. Except that the image quality is super bad compared to what I see in the viewer of the twain driver. After the plugin processes the image, skin tone is purple, blue is orange and dark green is lime color... Suggestions welcome.

I don't use "InsideScan", however several do, I just did Google Search for fmforums insidescan and got a few hits.

BTW, I don't see the connection between your question, and Custom Function Topic where you posted it?

Yeah, I guess I posted it way off, sorry bout that... I found the solution btw. Got an email from tech support having me add "inverse=yes" to the statement. Apparently my camera takes snapshots inversed. Weird.

Plugin btw is awesome. I now can add photos into my database directly from Filemaker. It even crops it to a nice 3:4 portrait proportions (or whatever crop you need). Absolutely worth the investment.

Update: Email from tech support...

"The problem is not strictly related to your webcam, it's a problem with some scanner's drivers that return RGB triplets in inverse order: that's why we added the inverse=yes parameter to InsideScan..."
