It might be nice to have a second crop-like box that functioned something like a spot-meter or a center-weighted meter: the scan exposure and processing would primarily be based on the marked off section. John M. Rob Geraghty wrote: Joel Wilcox [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yup, works for me. My

You definitely can reset the crop outline in Photoshop. Or alter it. Easily. In contrast with PSP, or some other programs, what you do in PS is: 1 Use Marquee tool to draw box outline. It can also be a circle, etc. 2.To add to the box, hold shift key down (don't have to) and redraw box, or

Rob - if you meant Photoshop and not Vuescan, it does have a crop tool which is adjustable on each edge. It is not the Rectangular Marquee Tool that I think you are referring to, but the Crop Tool on the same location in the tool palette. Hold mouse down on the corner of the Rectangular

Am I the only one who has problems with the crop outline in Vuescan? I have been wondering why it is so incredibly difficult to position correctly. I *think* it's mostly due to one aspect of behaviour. Let's say I'm cropping an image in Paintshop Pro. I click and drag to create a rough

Has anyone else experienced this? I'd have to say that the behaviour of the crop box outline is the most frustrating feature of Vuescan. Yes and it bugs me, too. I've sort of learned how to compensate for it but it and the lack of a histogram remain my only two significant complaints about the
