Good advice Dick... I did not think of that ;-).
I have now managed to get Vuescan to work - Ed Hamrick responds
quickly to his emails. But now the jpegs don't look that good -
they're blank. I realise that not everything is implemented in the
Mac version, but does anyone on a Wintel box have the same problem?
The reason I bought Vuescan is the neg film files which mean that I
don't have to fiddle too much with the colour balance etc.... I
think that I'll stick to the Minolta scanning software for slides
though.

Short answer: Don't save the file as a JPEG after the scan, save it
as a .tif (TIFF) file. JPEG is a "lossy" format that discards
information. Save it as a JPEG last, after *all* editing in
photoshop. I have one of the "dummies" books on photoshop, and it
does a pretty good job of explaining all this.
I've seen consecutive JPEG saves get bigger in photoshop. Not
intuitive, is it? You may be saving with a high "quality".
