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 has made using
Vuescan easier. I now use the Preview *only* for cropping since all other
results are unreliable. Here is what I do -- I know it is a real pain:
1. Do a Preview.
2. Crop.
3. Scan using a a medium resolution.
4. Make adjustments on the Color tab, scan from memory, make adjustments,
etc. I iterate through this until I get a result that I like. Each time
the image is going to Vueprint so I can check the histogram and also so I
can get a bigger image.
5. When I am satisfied with the results of #4 I then reset the resolution
to the highest and do the final scan.
I have been doing this for about 10 days because that is when I learned that
the Preview couldn't be used for anything but cropping. In effect I do two
previews. The first one using the Preview button is used for cropping and
the second one using the Scan button is used for other adjustments. It
slows things down and means doing three scans, but the final scan doesn't
surprise me anymore.
Naturally, it would be great if the Preview really was an accurate
representation of the final scan. Maybe in the future?
