Anyway, I had this idea (which actually originates from a feeling similar to your some time back, when I could get my pictures look like I wanted them to look): You pick one of your pictures (one that you typically had difficulties in gettng right), fresh out of the scanner - send it in a reasonable size to a number of volunteers on the list (I'll be one of them) who will do their finishing and adjustments according to their taste (no competition). The pictures will be put up somewhere for all to see and ponder upon, and you'll be able to see if any of them will be to your liking and the guys who did the job can tell you and all of us what and how they did to it. This way you, and anybody, might get some valuable hints on basic digital photofinishing. What do you think? Lasse

Thanks Paul, Lasse,Butch,Larry. Just for the books,Silverfast seems to be the program i have the most trouble with setting,locking in ratios etc,Vuescan better.I am still not sure in the file size with Vuescan.Were it asks for size,35mm 4x6 8x10 etc,is this the scaned article size or the out put size. At first i only used the Epson twain that came with the 2450,but it sarted to act up and i moved to Siler and Vuescan. Thanks to an email from Boris,i'll look into updating the twain from the Epson site and see if that also helps. Dave
