No. In fact, they would be softer, since there are more

You *do* still have the extension in the filename box, don't you? The
default file name is
crop0001+.tif
which means name the files crop0001.tif, crop0002.tif, etc. But you
can put any name or extension you like there. VueScan assumes you know

Another sidenote (WARNING) is that if you give a static

every image to that name, which means at the end of scanning several
