Hi Bernhard

I've got exactly the same problem with an HPS20 and Vuescan 6.xxx
Just try to use Vuescan version 7.019 or newer.

Ed Hamrick discovered a bug in earlier 7.xx versions and things are going
much better for me now.
I was busy and therefore just made a quick test last WE, reds might still
sometimes be too strong but not burnt anymore. A small correction in
photoshop did the job when needed.
BTW Ed  wrote yesterday that saved rawfiles  are "bugfree".
Let me know your new results.

Interesting. I always work with saved rawfiles and also noticed that. I
guess it's a problem for Ed:  I still think the oversaturated reds we found
in scanning negs came from another earlier Vuescan pb.
