The scanner interface (Nikon Scan 2.1) software is better than I expected, and more than adequate for the job. IMHO, of course ;-) I use Photoshop 5 for editing and printing so I didn't use any of the bundled non-Nikon software, but mine included a licensed version of Photoshop 4.0 LE, which is a pretty good program in its own right. In summary - I like it :-) Regards John Bean
