[filmscanners] Re: Vuescan clipping

["Bob Shomler" <bob@shomler.com>]

Some ideas:

First, reset vuescan options to defaults (File|Default options) just in case 
some option was inadvertently set.

Then try setting Media Type to Image (which I think will negate film type 
setting) and Color balance to White Balance.

Some time ago vuescan had a bug when white point was set to 0, which I read was 
fixed.  Just in case, try setting white point to 0.001.

What Monitor/File color space color spaces have you set?
