Hey Mark, Nice stuff! I'm impressed with the scans and the images. You have a good eye.
Thanks for the tip. I have the Scan Dual II and VueScan but have not tried the single pass multi-scanning. I have a few slides that I have not been satisified with the scan quality that I am now going to go back and try again.
