Barry, Ok, your right, but be reasonble, every scanner has problems with curved film (accept a drum scanner I suppose), I'm having a Coolsacn IV and very satisfied with it (manual focus is possible), keep your negs safe and flat as possible.

Re: filmscanners: RE: Nikon LS-40 Coolscan 4
James, I don't know how a minolta sounds, but my first filmscanner was an LS-20 and that machine moves the complete filmstripholder in en out during the scan stage and was very noisy especially the focus machanism, the LS-40 doesn't make so much noise as far as I can hear. I'm only complaining about the scansoftware (Nikonscan 3), it seems rather buggy - Original Message - From: James Grove [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2001 10:44 AM Subject: RE: filmscanners: RE: Nikon LS-40 Coolscan 4 Umm when the motors move i cant say its really noisey just loader than my Minolta was!

Re: filmscanners: LS-4000 First Impressions WAS - Nikon Scan 3.0 crashes under Win98 SE
Hello, I'm using NikonScan 3 on CS - IV as a plugin inside photoshop and it never crashes, but I have problems saving cropsettings, It seems that NS is loosing its settings when I switch to another picture or even when I rotate the same picture, then I have to load the desired settings again. So lots of software problems has to be fixed by Nikon, (very soon I hope.) - Original Message - From: Enoch's Vision, Inc. (Cary Enoch R...)

Bendisch wrote: today I've received my new Nikon LS-4000. What a difference compared to my old HP photosmart. The problem is that the Nikon scanner software (Nikon Scan 3.0) constantly crashes, especially when I try to use ICE or other advanced features. I'm running Windows 98 Second Edition. Any ideas what might be wrong? I picked up my Nikon LS-4000 in Atlanta on Tuesday and am still getting familiar with it. I found that NikonScan is very unstable when used stand-alone. It can scan only one time and then it crashes. However, when I use its TWAIN module inside of Photoshop 6 it never crashes. I'm scanning a 40-year-old badly faded filmstrip with everything turned on, ICE, GEM, and especially ROC. The results so far have enthralled me. The original frames are so faded that they project in a dull nearly monochromatic reddish tone. The Nikon literally makes them look as good as new. I'll post some samples on the Web in a few days for list members to check out. Getting back to the crash issue: NikonScan (NS) appears to have serious problems with both memory and disk management. I tried Vuescan on a few slides and noticed that it saved files nearly twice as fast as NS did. Photoshop also saves files much faster than NS does. And Vuescan didn't crash, btw. Vuescan's equivalents to ROC and ICE are also much faster than NS's routines. I'm running Windows 2000/SP1 on a Dell Precision Workstation 420 with dual 933 MHz Piii CPUs and 768 MB RDRAM. Processing times are about 10% faster than those listed in the Nikon manual. That's still pretty slow but an acceptable trade-off for the magic that it does with damaged and faded film. Oddly, after exiting NS and Photoshop the system has about 50 MB more available RAM than it had before starting those applications. Despite that interesting anomaly the system doesn't become unstable. However, this indicates that NS has some serious bugs. Some suggestions for Win98 users: place both the TEMP folder and the system swapfile on any partition except C: (for efficiency) and make it a fixed size to prevent fragmentation. You can find out how to do that on scores of Windows performance tweak sites. Defrag your partitions before attempting to do very large scans. Think about expanding RAM to 512 MB. That's the maximum that Win98 can use because of a Microsoft bug that has never been fixed. Create multiple Photoshop swap files on different partitions. Upgrade to Win2K if possible. A few initial impressions: Don't try Digital ICE with Kodachrome. NS adds halos around the darker shadow areas and is totally ineffective. Vuescan does a better job with Kodachrome and doesn't have the halo problem. Old Fujichrome slides appear slightly greenish when scanned but it's correctable in PS. Nikon should have provided a way to store the film adapters and not just fragile plastic baggies. Given the price that I paid for the scanner this is very tacky. They should provide a case for them plus a dust cover for the scanner. On all but Kodachromes ICE and ROC seem to work better in NS than in Vuescan. I've scanned about 40 slides so far all of which needed ICE. The FH3 strip film attachment holds even badly curved film flat and I'm not seeing any edge sharpness issues so far. More to come . . .
