Hi Gautam I'm late but thanks for the examples. The auction for the Kodachrome film ended without me, I was sleeping ;-) While I like the third photo, the first two look not like very good scans and a bit bluish for me, but that may be related to the size presented and monitor settings here. Maybe you have to auto adjust color settings and more in Photoshop after Vuescan... greetings Markus
