I have been expermiting with Vuescan and my new scanner (Minolta 5400).
There is a lot I have to learn before I get the optimal results.
Is there any kind of guide/turtorial that describes what the functions
do? For example I have no idea what the IR Clean is for and what side
effects it may have. I sure I could figure this all out myself but that
could easily take months of expermiting. I wold like to avoid that so I
can start getting good results asap.

Thanks.

IR clean uses the infrared channel to remove dust and scratches. It may
reduce sharpness to a certain extent. You must evaluate the results on your
image.
The manual that comes with the package is all that there is.

The VueScan Users Guide (at its Help menu) has a section for each tab
name, which has a short description for each control on that tab.

For example, on Filter tab section,

Infrared clean

Use this option to remove dust spots and scratches. It's only available
when an infrared channel is available. This option only causes image
softening in the immediate vicinity of dust spots and scratches.

You can control the amount of cleaning of the image by choosing the Light,
Medium or Heavy options.
