The Prescan Tab would display a Prescan Window. The Prescan Window would
display low resolution thumbnail prescans of whatever film was placed in the
scanner, up to 40 frames. These thumbnails would be selectable via the
mouse using standard Windows selection techniques. (left click, control-left
click, shift-left click). The selection would show up in the Frame Number
settings.
While your at it, a histogram with mouse selectable white and black points
would be way cool. Add a little Unsharp Mask and most images could be
scanned and be ready to go straight out of Vuescan. Photoshop would only
be needed for image manipulation or darkroom type finessing, not for
scanning images. And the value of Vuescan will have grown exponentially
(IMO).
