Are you sure about that, Herb?  Looking at the "Color Management" 
options page in PSP7, I see that you can set profiles for both the 
monitor and the printer, and it looks to me like you can use the 
"proofing" option to view the colours as they would appear on any device 
you have a profile for, printers included.

then i don't get the point of the reference to or the use of PSP 7 and grain
in your original msg. PSP 7 is a lot worse than Photoshop at color
management and that means it's not very useful for photographic work. it
only color manages to the monitor and not to the printer.

I'm not using Photoshop or  grainsurgery for scanning itself.  But
actually

the scanning program does make a difference IMHO.  VueScan gets much
better

shadow detail then the Minolta software that comes with the scanner no
matter how manually I've tried it.  VueScan also focuses the scanner much
faster then the Minolta software and I've yet to notice any loss of sharp
focus there.  To a point the scanning program can make a difference as
well

because of some compensation built into the manufacturers software for the
hardware created noise.  I think I do get a bit more noise out of VueScan,
but usually better overall results in the end.  But as for this post it
only

refers to after scanning processing, not scanning itself.
