HI folks - I'm still working away here, improving my understanding and techniques. Since the addition of histograms to Vuescan, I've been trying to utilize them some, but remain somewhat confused, as I'm just starting to get a grasp of the ones in PS Elements, which have 3 sldiers, and input

Has anyone *seriously* put the new 6-colour Canon's to the test? (Tony - did you get one, or are you still cursing at your Epson? :) the Canon is grainy, shows banding, and seems to be clearly surpassed by the Epson. I have seen this same banding problem on *every* test print I have seen

The routeing problems decsribed in my earlier message are still continuing, with most delivery addresses still unreachable. This is apparently due to a major routeing failure upstream from the list's ISP, which has made reaching root DNS's impossible. Allegedly it is being worked on.

Matthew, I've successfully used two Canon film scanners with Linux, but both with SCSI, so I don't know how useful this information is to you. The first one was a FS2710, and now I have a FS4000. Both of them work well with Vuescan under Linux with a SCSI interface. The FS4000 has also a USB

Thanks for the replies. From all the suggestions, a number of folks have noted this problem and suggest that it lies with the use of the media:slide setting. If I change it to Image, the clipping decreases and the result is no clipping. But I lose the use of the film terms, my main reason for
