I notice a blinking "X" that becomes a solid circle and back to the X on the
image I'm working with. What is this all about?
I can drag it about the screen but I have no idea what it's for.

Vuescan is a good tool but the documentation is lacking. Has anyone written
a tutorial for vuescan?

It is the focus spot, as documented in the help files (Input tab|Auto
focus first paragraph).

There is a "Getting Started Guide" to be found on the Vuescan web site, plus
an FAQ.

Compulsory in my view to RTM.

Wayne Fulton also has some excellent general advise on scanning, inc. use of
Vuescan @ www.scantips.com.

Well, I tried to write one ;-) It is part of my book "Digitale
Dunkelkammertechnik". http://www.dpunkt.de/buecher/3-89864-304-2.html
The main focus of the book is how to implement a color management
workflow with the products Picture Window Pro, VueScan and Qimage. I
show that there is an alternativ to the photoshop workflow.

no concrete plans at the moment. But I reveived the same request from
other people. We will present the book at the photokina and we hope to
get some feedback whether it was a good idea to write a book about
colormanagement workflow for photographers that is not based on
photoshop. If it turns out that there is a market for such a book we
will produce an english version.
