That seems true, now that you point it out. I often avoid 16 bit for just

The Vuescan algorithms are very, very good. They are somewhat generalized,

As I said it is exactly as straightforward if you use the Crop Tool and not
the Marquee Tool.

Rob - if you meant Photoshop and not Vuescan, it does have a crop tool
which is adjustable on each edge. It is not the "Rectangular Marquee Tool"
that I think you are referring to, but the "Crop Tool" on the same location
in the tool palette. Hold mouse down on the corner of the Rectangular
Or move it incrementally one pixel at a time in any direction using the

You definitely can reset the crop outline in Photoshop. Or alter it. Easily.
In contrast with PSP, or some other programs, what you do in PS is:
1 Use Marquee tool to draw box outline. It can also be a circle, etc.
2.To add to the box, hold shift key down (don't have to) and redraw
box, or jus
It might be nice to have a second crop-like box that functioned something like
a spot-meter or a center-weighted meter: the scan exposure and processing would
primarily be based on the marked off section.

The problem is the little slivers of black border that are left cause it to
calculate the scan exposure incorrectly.

This helps a bit, but the crop box still has a tendency to jump
around when releasing the mouse button after dragging.
I don't want to *have* to use the zoom, as each step slows things
down.

have you tired increase the buffer %? Maybe double it do Vuescan ignores #% of the
