any advice for a purchase ?

Hello Lovegod.

There is an article in this thread which shows a review of the scanner I use. The scan preview window is quite large. It's the Epson Perfection 2480. It might still be available.

I must stress though that I am a firm believer that all corrections to brightness, contrast, saturation etc is much better done using graphics software Photopaint, Paintshop Pro etc as they allow you to see in more detail changes that you have made and also allow you to undo the changes.
