 Actually, if you are scanning at 16bit and doing your adjustments in PS, 
the colour/contrast control is the only Vuescan control you need to touch - 
just to make sure you get all that is in the original. With black point 0% 
and white point set to 0.01%, I can't recall the last time I needed to 
change anything else - oh, except sometimes 'white balance' isn't the 
optimum
