I guess I'll have to scan the grayscale target again. :-) Color Balance Tool has contrast setting just below brightness. BTW, I scanned a severely underexposed Kodachrome (max white = 80/255). The desired image was hard to see by eye. I tried VS w & wo multiscan in Image media and NS3.1 w Master Gain=2 and w & wo GEM. The GEM results had the least grain with the best color & shadow detail. VS required a lot of tweaking to get good color. I haven't tried VS's grain reduction yet. . Mike Duncan
