[filmscanners] RE: VueScan Suggestions Needed

["Jawed Ashraf" <Jawed@cupidity.force9.co.uk>]

The Photoshop approach is addictive:

up/down arrow increments by one "unit"
shift held down at the same time increments by 10 "units".
mouse-wheel up down is synonymous with up/down arrow (sorry Mac users,
you're *really* missing out with no wheel on your mouse...)

Sliders become much less interesting, then.  They can retain their function
as "gross" manipulators.
