HI George, I tried Vuescan for the third or fourth time about two years ago. I have a lifetime subscription, so maybe I'll check for an upgrade and try it again. With the Epson V500, there was little fine control of the various functions. For example, when trying to set black point movement of the control would provide almost no discernible difference, but when the control was pushed to a certain point, the whole thing would fall off the cliff and a drastic change would be generated. Same thing with low and high curves. Plus after tweaking the preview, the resulting scan wouldn't match. Epson Scan on the other hand has very basic controls, but it's easy to dial in slight changes, and the scans always match the previews. A bit of tweaking in PhotoShop dials them right in. This is an Epson rendering of a photo I shot with my Speed Graphic 4x5 forty years ago. Very little photoshop work was required. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17035692&size=lg
