A rather obvious question but have you tried scanning the same slides in
different
orientations? I thought I had similar problems with some colour fringing with
my
Minolta Elite but the direction with the fringing remained the same whatever
the
orientation of the slide. I tried back to front, upside down and even sideways
(which
meant not all the slide was scannable) and the offending parts of the image
always
looked identical. As far as I can see, the effects of optical abberations in
the scanners
lens, CCD bleeding etc would change with the orientation of the media.
Looking at the slide on a lightbox with a x20 hand lens I could detect the
fringing on
the original which I hadn't noticed until I'd scanned it. If this caught me
out with a 2820
dpi scanner, I guess the 4000dpi of the Sprintscan would make it even more
noticable.
