I took a look at your scanned image (a nice image, BTW). The fact that the flare only becomes visible on boosting levels, might mean you are experiencing blooming, which is why I asked in my earlier posting if the the exposure seemed correct. However, there seems to be excessive blooming

Art Thanks for your comments. I am rescanning the slide today to see whether the problem is the same or has changed with time. It is possible that it is blooming from slightly higher than average exposure. However, the slides do not look underexposed - just a little dense and saturated. I

I have posted an image which shows the bleed onto a page on our website - it can be seen at http://www.imagequest3d.com/flaring/ I have experienced the streaking that Harry describes as well - but not since I switched from the Coolscan III to the LS 2000. I will try rescanning the images when I

That makes a lot of sense, and seems to equate to what I saw in the stars test (viz pinholes in black leader). Different scanners appear to show different results, but *some* haloing seems to be universal, in all the tests I've seen. I'd like to be proven wrong on this one, if anyone has

1st question: How many people smoke near where the scanner is located? Or cook fried foods? Or was the unit moved that day from a cold to warm place? The most common cause of halos in a scanner which seemed fine in the past, is an accumulation of residue on the lenses optics of ccd surface.
