I have Vuescan, but i'm looking forward to using the Epson software again.(There was no version of Epson software for the 3200 that would install and work with later versions of OSX, despite what Epson says.) On the 3200 it enabled much better find tuning of exposure and color. Vuescan dials are clunky, IMO. Incremental changes do almost nothing, then suddenly tip it over the edge. Now, it may be that it will work better with the 500, and I will definitely try it, but I'm not a fan of Vuescan at present. Paul On Feb 16, 2013, at 10:37 PM, steve harley <[email protected]> wrote:
