Thanks for the replies. From all the suggestions, a number of folks have noted this problem and suggest that it lies with the use of the media:slide setting. If I change it to Image, the clipping decreases and the result is no clipping. But I lose the use of the film terms, my main reason for using vuescan. It does a great job with my many old Kodachromes. Using the Color Balance:White Balance and setting the White point to .001 works well without clipping also, and allows the use of the film terms, so this is how I will use it.
I would think the exposure lock adjustment feature could be used to control the highlights, but, as I posted earlier, it only affects the clipping in one direction; I can increase the expose to increase clipping, but not decrease it. It does not work the same way NS exposure does, and may not be what Ed intended to have happen. I think something automatic is compensating the adjustment. This may be a bug. In case Ed isn't following this thread, I will send a description of this along to him for his list of things to do! ;-) Tom Wells [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
