I'd save the file after any touching up for dust etc. It's a pain to do

If you are using IR dust removal this obviously doesn't apply.

As you are already using 5.0 one source of possible problems can be the old

don't uninstall the old version before installing the new one. I don't

Hi Everybody!
I received my ScanWit 2720S yesterday. I did some scanning using
MiraPhoto2.0 and Vuescan7.1.3 on standard film as well as slides.
It works fine with both for well-exposed daylight photographs, but as
anticipated, I'm having trouble with my astronomical photographs.

I have noted that there are several people that have regular problems with
some scanning software whilst others have no problems. Some of these may be
due to a general unreliability in your system. If your image processing
software can be used without any problems this may indicate otherwise but

Thanks ,

I agree with those wanting the keep the auto-increment feature. Maybe it's
as a result of my poor skill level but I find it to be a great help with
multiple 'Scan(s) from memory'.

Scan everything at the highest optical resolution possible and 16-bit
colour, and save those first.
Then you can go through them again spotting and correcting the colour.
Don't bother to make separate JPEGS, use a program like Thumbs Plus or
ACDSee to prepare thumbnails and index sheets.
Ed: Please leave the + feature alone. I usully leave the scan in
vuescan and move it later.

I use vuescan, in 48bit mode, and export mostly raw scans to photoshop.. there I

Yes, but it's quick. When you're working on images that differ greatly in
subject, film, time of day, and exposure (and I always am), it saves a lot
of time to get color
