Re: filmscanners: Vuescan newbie question

How washed out?  Vuescan's defaults, for purposes of retaining detail in
both shadow and highlights, will often result in a somewhat 'washed out'
image that can easily be corrected in your graphics program during post-scan
correcting.

Check the histogram of the image - if there is indeed wasted space between
the white or black points, you might try different settings for Gamma and
Image brightness on the Color tab.
