From an interview I read some years ago, he likes to overexpose by around 4 stops, and then overdevelops as well. I'd hate to try and scan his negs :) Regards Tony Sleep http://www.halftone.co.uk - Online portfolio exhibit; + film scanner info comparisons
RE: filmscanners: Silverfast and LS1000
In the documentation which is included on the Silverfast AI CD, A floating window should appear upon selecting negative as a film choice. from there about 6 general brand film types (Agfa/Kodak 1,2,3/Fuji 1,2,) and 3 general choices Monochrome/standard/linear can be selected. Yet another control is shown for exposure. These being post scan color corrections, I do not see why they would be omitted from the Nikon version. - There are no film profiles in Silverfast AI Where have you got that info? Mikael Risedal

Hello Mahimahi I read the pdf and there are as you describe a floating window, page 119 in the manual. I have already contacted my friends at Silverfast and ask them about why this features are not included in 5,2 as described.

filmscanners: Silverfast and LS1000
When selecting negative mode in silverfast, I do not get the Film type and Exposure window as described in Ian Lyons Tutorial. Am I missing something? My tutorial makes it quite clear that Nikon scanners do NOT use the negative scanning feature as shown in the tutorial. Paragraph 2 :- SilverFast AI 5 for the Polaroid SS4000/120 has a special routine built-in for dealing with the coloured mask found on virtually all negative films. This routine is common to all the other scanner models supported by LaserSoft, except those by Nikon. Although, many of the messages I receive regarding SilverFast and negative scanning relate to the fact that SilverFast does not include film specific profiles, I will demonstrate these profiles are not really necessary. Silverfast maybe have a written software to Polaroid SS 4000 scanner who are including film profiles. Not sure that I understand what this means, but SilverFast does NOT use film profiles! In the documentation which is included on the Silverfast AI CD, A floating window should appear upon selecting negative as a film choice. from there about 6 general brand film types (Agfa/Kodak 1,2,3/Fuji 1,2,) and 3 general choices Monochrome/standard/linear can be selected. Yet another control is shown for exposure. The software for Nikon scanners doesn't support the feature. You don't need the feature, you can ignore this section of the manual, which is written to cover ALL supported scanners. For the LS30/2000 IV/4000 and 8000 there is a Nikon specific addendum on the CD These being post scan color corrections, I do not see why they would be omitted from the Nikon version. Because when LaserSoft tried to make the feature work they failed, miserably.

Re: filmscanners: Silverfast and LS1000
Ian Thanks for the answer. I have not seen any film profiles during the years I have used Silverscan but the pdf file in 5.2 can confuse people.

For the LS30/2000 IV/4000 and 8000 there is a Nikon specific addendum on the CD Ian, your tutorials are excellent!! I did read that the features were not supported by Nikon, But I thought that there would be at least some of the selections available in Negative mode. As for the LS1000, no addendum is included on the CD, nor is the LS1000 included in the list of scanner profile choices in the CMS window. The images(underwater) I scan require some serious tweaking. The deep blue color of the Tropical Pacific ends up bright green. My cheap Acer 2720s produces realistic colors without much adjustment, but I miss the multiple scanning features found in Silverfast AI. If Lasersoft has decided to give up on the LS1000, I hope that a version may soon be available for the Acer. Will try Vuescan this weekend. Hope to get some decent results. These being post scan color corrections, I do not see why they would be omitted from the Nikon version. Because when LaserSoft tried to make the feature work they failed, miserably. I have already contacted my friends at Silverfast and ask them about why this features are not included in 5,2 as described. The answer will come soon I have sent a inquiry to Lasersoft as well. Hope to find a solution to the problem. Chris Bangs
