Stefanie: Version 7.6.51 of VueScan is available. If read the data on Ed's website correctly, it does not seem as though VueScan yet supports the Minolta 5400.

I find that color correction in VueScan is very powerful, particularly the automatic right mouse button feature. Here you right click on a grey (or white) area and get automatic balance. Auto Levels is useful at times and Ed has now added Portrait and Landscape (which I have not tried). I find that VueScan is much more powerful than the TWAIN interface in PS. > Many thanks Stefanie- the proud owner of the new Minolta 5400 for �529.. > ARPS, BIPP I use a CanoScan FS 4000 and have been getting superb results with VueScan with slides, color negative and B&W. I purchased and IT8 slide target and profiled my scanner with the VueScan feature.
