Again I have to take issue with this. Vuescan is slightly slower than proprietary drivers because it drives the scanners at maximum quality, and avoids vibration and resonance issues which cause banding in some models. However it has some very large advantages over proprietary drivers: 1) It provides one interface for all your scanners 2) It provides proper control over clipping, including histograms. The Epson TWAIN driver is next to impossible to control in this respect since it provides no histograms and you tend to either clip your black and white points or set them way outside your data, either suboptimal I'd say that Vuescan is an essential tool. You may not use it for every scan, but there are some scans it will save your ass on. JB - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
