To date, I haven't observed any jaggies in scans that I've done on the 
LS-4000 regardless of which software I've used. My only problem has been 
with Nikon-provided software though I very impressed with their 
functionality and user interface.

Frankly, I'd use Vuescan exclusively but I can't seem to master it. Are 
there any web-based tutorials on advanced Vuescan techniques? At my present 
level of knowledge I need either raw scan data for PShop or visual curve 
manipulations to get good scan data. I tried the Silverfast demo for the 
LS-4000. It's speedier than NikonScan but underwhelming otherwise.
