The ES-10 software is delivered with configuration files for a number
of film brands and types. What really eats me is that the information
is not used! Film parameters are hard-coded into the program instead
of being read from the files. Sigh!
Add to that, configuration of exposure and contrast can not be saved
to a file, so you have to begin adjustment from scratch every time.
The ES-10 software for MS-Windows is not up to the standard I would
expect from a professional firm, sorry to say.
