Absolutely brilliant video - fastest 3 minute video in my life and it taught me more than the last week of searching the web and watching video tutorials has on this subject.
Like MrNicebutDim I use an A3 scanner. Unlike his, mine has an ADF which I do not use as I am scanning very brittle ww2 paper so I do have black card double side taped as my background to eliminate bleed through. The difference that makes has saved many hours of grief. Until now I have been using Irfanview but I am now learning GIMP. I must admit that Irfanview is far faster and easier at some functions but as I learn the various shortcuts in GIMP I am sure it will become as fast. Irfanview unfortunately only does about 5% of what GIMP does.
My scanner being a newer Epson it has the EpsonScan2 computer software and that allows easy preview and a reasonable level of colour and white balance adjustment so I can confirm that with most books spending 5 minutes on colour balance setup eliminates hours of post processing.
