Are the profiles in NegaFix superior to VS's profiles? > I'm using SF frequently with my Polaroid SS4000 and I have also used the trial version of VueScan for comparison. - SF is pretty good but I'm not impressed by Negafix. For example it screwed up big time on a Fuji NPS 160 scan - I had to use the generic profile (and that was acceptable). Also, on several occasions it produced a "combed" histogram which looked really weird. - SF's interface is a nightmare. I'm a software engineer myself so I think I know what I'm talking about ... - Recently I have learned quite a bit about Photoshop and now I'm only using SF to get a roughly corrected scan which I'm later adjusting in PS. - VueScan - as I said I have only used it for a few times, mainly to try to compare the results with the SF scans. In general I got very flat images, even after adjusting the levels in PS the scans were still a little too flat for my taste. Many people on this list however like the results from Vuescan.
