VUESCAN -- Problems Rescanning Vuescan Generated RAW or DNG Files

Running Vuescan 8.4.26 (latest) and Nikon Super Coolscan 4000.

Vuescan saves all RAW and DNG outputs in portrait orientation, at
least with this scanner. However, when scanning from an image file,
it seems to assume that the RAW and DNG images are all in landscape
mode and crops accordingly. It also apparently imbeds some code in
the RAW images since rotating and resaving a RAW image in Photoshop
results in strange croppings by Vuescan when rescanning.

Am I missing something in my Vuescan setup, or am I experiencing a
critical Vuescan problem?

With additional fiddling it seems to work correctly sometimes, but not
other times. Probably something I am doing, but I cannot be sure.

When in doubt, trash all your vuescan.ini files and restart the
program. Sometimes it just loses its way...

I think Vuescan is simply *expecting* portrait oriented raws. I too
edit my raws: clean, crop, & rotate as needed. I've seen the same
behavior, sort-of square cropping. It will happen with some releases,
not with others.

I would think this is a popular workflow. I can't think of anyone who
enjoys having to re-crop and rotate the raws every time. It's much
simpler to get the crop and rotate overwith once, when dealing with
the raw file. It would be nice if Ed adressed this.
