I get around all of these problems by not using these features in VueScan: - I never have used the crop box. Probably a carryover from when the Mac version did not have it. - Tried to use folders once. Now I just leave the images in VueScan's folder and manually move them afterwards. - I always

Sorry, Lynn-- my pen flew too fast. I assumed that by 16x, _highest resolution_ was meant No, I do not scan 16 times, only 3, but at highest resolution. I _think_ I see improvement in noise levels then, but I can't convince myself that doing more than 3 scans buys me anything. But Ed Hamrick
