[rollei_list] Re: Size of Thumbnails

Robert, I have a limited experience using the Epson scanning software, I use 
Vuescan regularly and even Vuescan has problems to scan sometimes, in general I 
know the way to solve the Vuescan problems because I often use it; in the other 
hand I have used the Epson software a few times and those few times I had no 
problem scanning film and reflective media with the "Thumbnail" preview mode 
checked, I have scanned 35mm, 6x6 and 6x9 film formats using the Epson soft, 
BTW I open the "Configuration" window previously and in "film size" I choose 
the right size, no problem with thumbnails; I use the Epson software from PS or 
from PS elements, I use Vuescan like independent scanning software.

The v750 can scan larger formats than my 4490 and I guess the Epson software 
for the 750 has more options than for the 4490, anyway I could see the software 
is similar for both scanners from a basic point of view.
The situations you mentioned are included in the Epson v750 tehnical support 
like Top FAQs:
"EPSON Scan may not be able to detect film images, or may crop or group the 
images unexpectedly. This may happen if your images are like the following:"
