Re: filmscanners: Vuescan - crop files missing

I discovered my error. I had inadvertantly unchecked the Output TIFF file box for the cropped TIFF. So that was user error on my part. Nevertheless, I still wonder if there is an advantage to working directly with the raw scan file rather than the cropped file. In comparing the two files, I found that cropped TIFF is usually closer to what I need than the raw scan TIFF-- primarily in the balance of light and dark tones (I'm scanning B&W). In a few cases, however -- particularly where the cropped file seemed too dark -- the raw scan looked better and seemed to hold more information.

Subject: filmscanners: Vuescan - crop files missing

When using Vuescan (with SS4000), I notice that I do not get a crop file if I uncheck the raw compression box. Is this supposed to happen and, if so, why?

Also, is it customary to work with the cropped files rather than the raw files?
