Anyone know the time frame a useable version of Vuescan for the 5400

II?

I have been using my 5400 II for a few months now. I got it a week after it was announced at PMA.

 

In anycase, has anyone else seem to notice that the scanner gives a magenta tint on Slides? Plus a problem of underexposing?

 

I have scanned E100G, Velvia 50, Provia 100F and 400F, and all of them have a magenta tint. Seems "ok" with negative.... but I have only scanned a few NPS 160, Kodak HD400, and Agfa Ultra 100.

 

Than there is the underexposed problem. Under my light table, a Cabin light panel, my shots are well exposed. But when scanned it can be sometime 1 stop under. Shots I have bracketed with a +/- 1, the +1 scan very well.

 

IS this something I should be acustom to?

We bought my wife a 2410 HP PSC all-in-one. Not impressed. My old Epson 900 ESC does the same, if not better. If you use direct prints, everything get saturated. Using the computer, and turning off all the crap, makes it better. Need to profile the printer to get some correct prints
