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.

It would seem to me that ICE would be covered under the tab Filter >
Infrared clean.  However, I believe, as in the wet darkroom, you should
remove all dust before exposing.  Repair and further dust correction is
better done with PS healing brush for example. (IMHO)

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.

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.
