That's not a major issue.... but thanks for the tip....

Problem solved... seems you have to have the crop box set to "blink" in
preferences for the focus box to show up... otherwise it's a virtually
invisible dot... figured it out after much fooling around :) Yes, and in any
case i do set measurements to pixels....

By raw scan, i presume you mean the scanned tif version... not the raw scan
version that VS gives you the option to scan?
If so, that's what i do.... i don't really do any corrections in VS... try
to get as much detail as possible there and then do any adjustments in the
image editing application.
Thanks for the feedbacks Peder....
