Scanlations
nharding:
Yes, the history is one of the things I want to change about CDisplay (CDisplay allows you to resume where you left off, but I like to check a scan when I download it and that means it loses the existing resume).

I have no experience with XNA, but doesn't it seem a bit odd to use a game development library for a simple image viewer?

Because that's totally necessary, amirite? Granted, I haven't tried this out (so I may be completely in the wrong), but it seems like you could do all of that stuff in a rather naive way in a scripting language and still be fine. You're not calculating softshadows here; write the simplest thing that can possibly work, and optimize it when you need to.
Sorry if this is a bit abrasive; I'm really not trying to discourage you from this project, or even force you into creating something that I could use (not being on Windows). I just think that doing this all from scratch seems silly.

I am using 3D card, so that I can use the pixel shader (as well as resize the image to screen size). I've got it so that it can adjust the color at the spine of the image, enhance grays colors, deyellow the page, and do the contrast, gamma, and saturation. It's also going to have a database included, so it's more than a simple viewer.

Man, unless you're willing to do this yourself in a better way, why don't you just wait to complain until he finishes it and we get to look at it? I don't really understand what your problem is here.
You don't seem to have a clear understanding of exactly what all he wants this program to do, and how it already functions, and why it functions that way, yet you're already Brooklyn Ragin'!
Sorry, it's just a little annoying.
