[filmscanners] RE: LS 4000 Green Cast
Do a very low resolution RAW scan. Do this by choosing NEF from the File Format drop down list after you've hit the Scan button. Make sure to set the resolution to something like 90dpi (actually that makes a tiny 39K image, maybe that's too small...). Post it to a webby somewhere so we can have a look and maybe help diagnose... Also, download a free trial version of Vuescan from www.hamrick.com and see what you get. Might help to eliminate the software configuration from your problem. It may well be something is happening in your scanner.

I recently purchased a Nikon Supercoolscan 4000. I am using Nikon Scan 3.1 on a mac with OS 9.1. All of my pre-scans and scans have an extreme green cast, to the point that all other colors are obliterated. I had the scame scanner 6 months ago and did not experience this problem. I tried getting help from Nikon. After many hours, turning off color controls and various settings, the tech support person told me I'd have to go for help with the big boys upstairs. That meant, calling and waiting for another tech support lower level person to send me on upstairs, which I was then told by a voice recording that it was a two hour wait. I gave up. I'd appreciate if someone could assist me in less time.

The question is how this feature contributes to the scanning quality in real life. Do you really notice the difference between regular, one-pass result and those from multi-sampling ? Will I really miss this ability scanning either prints or slides ? Additional questions: Is the IV ED multi-pass enabled (as an opposite to multi-sampling) (at least with Vuescan) ?

I'll try to combine these suggestions and summarize them to the list. Could people e-mail these suggestions to me directly to keep from cluttering up this mailing list? Ah, well, if we can chat about hifi here, I can't see that enhancement suggestions would be too off-topic. And besides, some suggestions might act as catalysts to remind other people of stuff they'd like to see! Agreed. And, I do think there's not enough on the subject of Fuji Frontier printing.

I second this idea, if it is practical. Jawed Ashraf wrote: The Photoshop approach is addictive: up/down arrow increments by one unit shift held down at the same time increments by 10 units. mouse-wheel up down is synonymous with up/down arrow (sorry Mac users, you're *really* missing out with no wheel on your mouse...) Sliders become much less interesting, then. They can retain their function as gross manipulators.

After working with them a bit I find they're good for making gross shifts in settings but not so good for finer ones, which I frequently need. I find myself resorting back to simply highlighting and entering the setting I want after I get relatively close with the slider. (again, the addition of the histogram has made scanning much, much easier). I would suggest that in addition to or instead of the sliders, having what I believe they call 'spinners'. These are little up and down arrow keys that increment or decrement (is that a word?) the setting, by individual 'clicks' or by holding the arrow key down and spinning through to the setting you want. Is it possible to have both sliders and spinners? If this product gets much better we'll be complaining that it should be loading slides automatically while we're in the bathtub! -- John Matturri words and images: http://home.earthlink.net/~jmatturr/ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
[filmscanners] Re: LS4000 vs IV ED
I took a look at the website and the Astia samples. You need to fix the titles under the samples, they are either missing (in the cropped images once they appear) or in the case of the full images, the top two are listed as Vuescan Single pass, and the bottom one as Nikoscan. I suspect the middle image is a multipass scan?? Didn't check the other film types.

By adding up several scans, the random noise is averaged out of the scan by software. If the scanner has very good dynamic range which extends into the shadow areas, you won't miss this (the Polaroid SS4000 is reported to not need multi pass scanning, for instance). Will I really miss this ability scanning either prints or slides ? yes you will I haven't kept up on Vuescan's full abilities, but Ed might have programed the ability to use multipass with the Nikon IV. I think he was successful in doing so in an earlier lower end model. Ask about this from someone using the scanner with Vuescan.

[filmscanners] RE: LS4000 vs IV ED
Sounds like you whizzed through too quickly. The top image uses *SLIDE* scanning in Vuescan, the middle image uses *IMAGE* scanning in Vuescan and the bottom one is Nikon Scan. For the crops the mouse pointer is captioned. Plus, they are described in more detail in the How the results are presented section: http://www.cupidity.force9.co.uk/Scanners/LS40/how_the_tests_were_done.htm (scroll down to the bottom) So, yes, in the three crops, the middle one is multipass.
