Hi Hughes & 3DWP,
You have to recalibrate when you install the new software because the calibration file is removed in the un-install sequence. If you saved or copied it from the turntable reference before doing this, I'm sure if you copied it back into the new folder and the name was the same, the software wouldn't know any better.
As to how often, well I do it once for the turntable, then use it in freescan mode, however, if I was to put the camera back on the turntable, I think the freescan alignment meshes would interfere with the turntable alignment. If I have a tubular object on the turntable, it scans as an eight sided petal shaped one, and won't necessarily self align when it creates a mesh. This isn't a problem if you sab=ve as an .asc file, as you can align in Meshlab or similar.

Hugues, it looks like it is in this file CalibraParam, as this is the time I recalibrated the scanner to the turntable.
I imagine it might get overwritten after a freescan, so it might be an idea to check this out. I might try deleting it and seeing if the scanner wants calibrating again

PS It wasn't that one the scanner is still working after I deleted it!!

well, did not succeed to re-use these files:
ImgL.txt
ImgR.txt
ImgP.txt
CalibraParam.txt
The software says i need to run a calibration. So i deleted the 4 files, re-started the soft, did the calibration, and the same 4 files re-appeared after. I did not compare their content, there must be a flag saying they are from a previous version i guess. Would be easier if Alfred tells us if it's possible or not.
But indeed a few new options are there in 1.5, thanks Shining3d. Could not see any change in scanning accuracy though, but Shining3d did not claim this AFAIK.

Looks like the colour scan mode will be under the SCAN menu, Turntable, Free, & Texture. There is a little bit about it in the Help drop down tab, but can't seem to access it yet.
I think my scans on the turntable are slightly more accurate, there seems to be better detail, after it has been meshed too. (y)
