    Yes, why not? Thank you, that works perfectly! I never use the cursor keys for
    that kind of things, so I just didn't think about it! Still I think some users
    could be frustrated by the current design. Maybe you could add balloon help at
    the sliders that reminds people about the cursor keys - I think there are many
    users like me who are used to programs like Vistascan with the slider/entry box
    combination. I've seen the same design in a Mustek scanner program.
