Maybe I am misunderstanding the orginal issue, but maybe this will get you where you want to go. It won't auto color/exposure correct unless/until you manually click the auto exposure button. Sorry if I am going down the wrong road here
Yeah, I'll give that a swing as it's deifinitely on point with what I was asking.

Doug,
Good to see you on RFF. I didn't realize you had joined. I will dig up the software that came with my 4490 and give it a try. Why not, right? Though I have no idea what the workflow would be. Anyone care to share? perhaps on the wiki? Did I mention I set up a wiki?

Allan - if you mean a workflow for HDR output, I just scan (no adjusments) and then open in Photoshop. You will have a very flat scan but all the information will be there. At that point, you just do your normal curve/point adjustments. Supposedly, you are just getting the raw data from the scanner with no software intervention.

Doug,
So this isn't actually a Vuescan RAW file, just a Vuescan straight scan. But Vuescan has already made _some_ adjustments - shape of curve, stuff like that.

Okay, so I got rid of auto exposure. Since that looks crappy I'm going to play around and see if there is a way to manually control for brighter exposure.
The reason why I'm being such a pain on this issue is this- I'm trying to avoid strenuous post-editing that results in pixelation and noise in the final image. If the scan is poor, I may have to do some severe pushing to restore levels to that of the original negative. (Funny. As I type this I realize I only have this problem with c-41, never e-6.) Any suggestions? Or am I simply demanding that a non-pro scanner act like the pro that it isn't?

My 4490 does a fine job, and the results with MF are comparable with what I get with my Nikon IV. With Vuescan.

The HDR to which I was referring was a Silverfast SE option, not Vuescan. It was just a method to get 48 bit files out of SE which has limited output options.
