Hi Ernst.. I haven't had any luck with Vuescan on the microtek 120, it
either simply doesn't work, or I get horrendous lengths of pixel errors
throughout the scan. I upgraded to the "pro" edition (I think it's called),
but that didn't help.

In HDR, after I bring in the selection and then do my tonal corrections, I
take it back out again to process to keep the frame in the file.

Thanks,
Carolyn
