Read the manual as someone suggested. The framing + crop 
isn't the most user friendly aspect of Vuescan but it has 
many features including a changeable border where no light 
measurement is done and more like that.

The suggestion that it only works with the OEM holders isn't 
true, I couldn't have done all the wet mounting methods I 
developed for the Nikon 8000 and the Epson Perfection models 
years ago if Vuescan was limited to the OEM holders windows.
