You could do this now, though somewhat slower, by decreasing Scan resolution
on the Device tab to a minimal number, and leaving the "Viewer" line on the
Prefs tab empty so that the image does not open your graphics program but
merely shows on the Scan tab of Vuescan. The image will scan at low
resolution much like a 2nd prescan but the cleaning and coloring filters
will show up.
When you're satisfied, change the resolution back and reinsert the "Viewer"
line instructions for the real scan.

Subject: Re: filmscanners: analog gain
I don't know about the 'analog gain', but I previewed 3 times last night, on
the same image, and none of them picked up the 'clean' function. I was
getting discouraged, but the final scan came out beautifully clean. It would
be nice if the 'clean' functions worked on the preview, so one could best
select which version to scan. I suppose it would slow the process of
bringing up the preview, but the idea of keeping the quick-and-dirty lo-res
preview for 'crop-only' weakens its use too much for my taste. I think a
second preview ought to pick up the scanning instructions, so the hi-res
scan will have the right options. Ignoring them on the first round would
avoid slowing things down, and picking them up on the second would satisfy
someone who was not in too much of a hurry to worry about the options.

Unless Ed has disabled the feature, Vuescan certainly used to,
but you *must* run the preview scan again (ie. scan from the
scanner not memory) before you'll see the difference.
