Good advice Dick... I did not think of that ;-).

I have now managed to get Vuescan to work - Ed Hamrick responds quickly to his emails. But now the jpegs don't look that good - they're blank. I realise that not everything is implemented in the Mac version, but does anyone on a Wintel box have the same problem?

The reason I bought Vuescan is the neg film files which mean that I don't have to fiddle too much with the colour balance etc.... I think that I'll stick to the Minolta scanning software for slides though.

Short answer: Don't save the file as a JPEG after the scan, save it as a .tif (TIFF) file. JPEG is a "lossy" format that discards information. Save it as a JPEG last, after *all* editing in photoshop. I have one of the "dummies" books on photoshop, and it does a pretty good job of explaining all this.

I've seen consecutive JPEG saves get bigger in photoshop. Not intuitive, is it? You may be saving with a high "quality".
