It's been my practice using the 5000 and VueScan to scan without sharpening or grain reduction. I'm applying both, as needed, when I process the files in Lightroom. I can't evaluate the comparative success of this method because I haven't tried anything else. Care to comment? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
