Unfortunately, I don't think there's a better way.  The best thing is to play 
with all the settings, doing repeated previews from memory, until you get an 
understanding of how the system works and what all the choices do.  Frankly, 
I've been using it for a couple of years now, and I just got comfortable with 
it in the last six months.

I think the best thing you can do is standardize on one film for at least a 
while, and figure out how to get the best results out of the software.  Jumping 
back and forth between slide, b&w and several colour neg emulsions is a recipe 
for frustration, especially at first.

I also think the new help files are a lot more helpful than the previous 
versions (pre v7).  Once I realized they had improved I went back and re-read 
them, and it helped a lot.

I am picking up "bits and pieces" of information on getting started with 
VueScan from reading the messages and the help file information.

Surely there is more efficient way to be introduced to VueScan.

Can anyone refer me to other VueScan information?
