Hi Anne and all. Thank you for your settings. I have got vuescan setup correct. Tried to make a tif file and recognize with finereader 11, but I will have to admit that the quality is better if I use finereader 11 both for scanning and recognizing. Now I am wondering why? Could there be other settings that could help, or should I give up, and install windows in bootcamp on my mothers computer.
Cheers Annie.
