With all due respect, for some of us a more precise crop will help a lot with
limiting white point determination and constraining color adjustment
calculations to the desired crop areas. For now we can fuzz that with the
buffer (and border) controls; but a precise crop is definitely worth something.
Along this line, a film strip scan with a Photosmart scanner displays the
entire strip in preview. It can be really difficult to get a good crop
selection on one frame of a strip. (I use a LS-30 now but started film
scanning with the original scsi Photosmart -- as did Ed!).
