Ed,
I tried your recommendation of setting media type to "image," but
"scan from preview" still doesn't work properly on the Nikon LS-5000
with slide feeder. It always freezes somewhere in the process of
scanning 50 slides, usually in the first few slides.
Any chance of having time to correct this? It would save about a
minute per slide. The program is terrific even without this feature
functional. The price is a bargain if only for the great scanner
profiles I've been able to generate! Thanks much.

Tony Sleep recommend the following workflow for Vuescan, which
potentially would save a lot of time: set the preview resolution to
4000dpi and to check the box "Scan from Preview". Vuescan (8.0 or any
from 7.6.79-7.6.84) would often turn off my scanner in the middle of
the scan, or otherwise crash (freeze) in the middle of a scan. When
I opened Nikon Scan (after closing Vuescan), Nikon Scan also froze,
unless I turned the scanner off first.
I did manage to get 2 slides scanned once before the program crashed,
and the color was significantly different than when I had separate
preview and final scans done. It would be nice if the colors were the
same with both methods of scanning. Of course, it would also be nice
if this scan method worked at all with the LS-5000.
