Hi, Mark--
Don't know about Minolta's native driver (and my Acer's Raw scans aren't
very sophisticated), but Vuescan does a very good job of outputing Raw
scans.
I tend to agree with you--if you're going to correct in the image program,
what's the point of correcting in the driver program? Or vice-versa?
OTOH, not all programs are equal.
Best regards--LRA
