Which Umax do you have? The Astra 2200? That model scans 4 x 5's fairly well, and slides seems to be very iffy.
Until I get a better scanner, I am sending most slides out to a one-hour photo place and get high-res scans put on a CD.
Probably I will end up buying a new flat-bed for photos and 4 x 5 transparencies and then a separate slide scanner. That's where my research has led to me to date.
Remember that web needs and print needs are different. Web doesn't require the quality that print does.
