Is there a good rule-of-thumb for the amount of RAM needed for scanning
editing files at different resolution in Photoshop. This is probably "more
is better," but are some specific recommendations on this?
I used a Minolta Scan Dual (2438 dpi) with 160mb of RAM and that was
adequate even when
Ed didn't send this to the list so I will forward it.

I had an HP Photosmart until October 1999 and replaced it with a Minolta
Scan Dual at that time. About two weeks ago I bought a Minolta Scan Elite
-- mainly for the infrared channel clean-up feature. Vuescan had a problem
with the Clean, Scrub and Scour filters until version 6.3.19 and now
Ice will not correct physical damage to film and ALL dust removal

Ed Hamrick says that the cleaning algorithm in Vuescan in combination with
the infrared channel *does not* soften the image.
Try increasing the preview dpi and see if you get a closer match between
vuescan and PS.
A few days ago Ed told this list that the Preview will rarely match the
scan. Once I found out that the Preview in Vuescan was supposed to be
different than in the other scanning software I have used it
Then I scan the slide at the desired resolution. I test
different settings in VueScan and each time performes an Scan Mem When
I'm satisfied with the look within VueScan I switch it on again and do a
last scan mem to output the file. This way I can use the fast scan mem

My 1st experience with Ed's "scrub" was
disappointing with respect to edges ... it wasn't like a "gaussian
blur", but more like a "median" filter.
I agree. It seems to me that the grain reduction does soften the image. I
showed that on a webpage that I sent to

before.
