Good evening everyone, I'd like to take this opportunity to tell everyone that I had a scanner with a major problem. I spoke recently of a coincidence of the problem with an upgrade of Vuescan software. There is nothing wrong with Vuescan!! My Scanner was in the last throws of survival; I think. I sent my scanner back to Polaroid yesterday for repairs and my best friend offered me the use of his SS-4000 because he has another scanner presently. I plugged this into my computer system this evening and changed nothing else. The scans from Vuescan and his SS-4000 are a great deal better than what I was getting with "my" sick scanner. I look forward to the return of mine once it is working well again. I apologise to Ed Hamrick for any negative inference made in my earlier post of this week. Thankyou for your time.
