Sounds like the template for the 9900F, not the 9950F

I never even looked at the software for the FS4000.

Without a curves tool in VueScan, my neg scans without profiles on the
FS2710 have always needed some work in PS. I have some actions to
automate it.

The right click for neutral may save some time on a lot of scans.

Have you tried the FARE hardware dust removal? The i-photo reviews
showed it to work at least as well as the ICE on other brands of scanner
and much faster. It works very well on the FS4000 in VueScan. It does
take a second pass for IR on the FS4000, but the time is more than worth
it vs. spotting. The results are generally so clean that I am surprised
at running into the occasional spot. I still give the films a blast with
dust-off, but don't sweat it like with the FS2710.
