Dear All
I have taken more interest in the AF capability of my Minolta 5400
scanner since Walt muttered dark imprecations about its needing to be
focused manually. I now sometimes take Walt's advice and focus
manually with the Minolta software. However, I have also taken more
interest in the focus cross in Vuescan's Preview window. Ed Hamrick
has confirmed that it is the place where AF will take place (it was not
clear to me from the instructions for Vuescan).
Accordingly, my recent practice of dragging the focus cross to a
contrasty part of the image *has* been of practical in use in improving
the focus of my scans. I still use Minolta's software when Vuescan is
defeated by the colour of one of my slides or negatives (pretty rare)
and so will focus manually.
