Oh, but it isn't a flat bed - its a slide/negative scanner, so, maybe doesn't apply...

Are you using vuescan?  On mine, I get a "quick-look" or pre-scan, and I can use that to get an idea of pic quality before going much farther.

In addition, I can preview up to 6 (I think) negs at a time, using the carrier.

I tried that with my flatbed scanner.  Not so successful.
Therefor my question.  It takes around 4 minutes to scan one negative.
