If it doesn't work with the Microtek when you get back send a message to Ed
Hamrick the developer.
Next you'll have to get into monitor calibration and color management. It's
only beginning . . .

| Maris...many, many thanks! I have paid. I downloaded and installed
| VueScan. My first efforts produced no response from my Microtek SlimScan
| C6 (USB) scanner...but I may be missing a step. I rebooted, but no
| change. I am headed out of town, so I will not get an opportunity to work
| with it again until Monday.
|
| I changed to text mode. If I still need to make another change, please be
| sure and mention this to me.
|
| I made many "C" type prints that last couple of days. I can see many
| benefits in making the adjustments visually via the computer monitor. I
am
| looking forward to moving with dispatch to master all aspects of film
| scanning and digicam technology. From what I have seen thus far...there
is
| a place for both technologies.
