Hi Henk,
A photo editing program working with 16 bit/channel and feeding it with the
maximum available bit-depth from the scanner would be the solution.
Unfortunately PSP (PS is to expensive for me) is working only with 8
bits/channel. VueScan is ideal in bringing all the information which my

Count me also to the 16 bit/channel club :-)
Yup, it does not cost me anything more than working with
8bits but a bit of storage for those images that I archive
for future editing. So why risk loosing information. Arguing
for 8bits is just plain silly.

By low end scanners, do you mean something like the Polaroid SS4000?
Because VueScan produces much better scans than Polacolor Insight.

It is with the Nikon 4000. Vuescan simply saves it as an extra channel if
you ask it to. You can then look at it and see what it has marked for
removal.

Thanks for that info Bob. Does the Nikon 4000 suffer from any focus

It says

apply it differently. Bruce Fraser Andrew Rodney in particular have

Perhaps it's true that for someone who wants the software to
simply hand then a scan, Viewscan does a better job at
automating the process.
And I presume you think this is me? How condescending.

Hi David,
The last I checked, Vuescan doesn't have a curves tool, although it's high
on the author's list of things to add. What it does have support for is
color calibration.
Some of the scanner software has film profiling, and I've done quite a bit
