That's on a G4 800 DP with 800MB allocated to PS6! It is
the deatil issue that's my main objection and I see no reason to have
to use 16x.

For some reason, I can't adjust any of
the setting in the Nikonscan software to pull out shadow detail at
1-4x. I can't endure the 16x scanning times. Even if I
adjusted the black points, it made no difference.





Do I need to use Vuescan or is there another
way?

Thanks,

You might as well give Vuescan a try.  What film are you scanning - is there
an obvious reason why it is very dense?  Like Velvia, K25, Provia 100F?

It is 100ASA Ektachrome.  No real reason for the blocked up shadows.

  Trying Vuescan would be suggested.  I've been playing with Nikonscan 3.1.1
and my Ls-2000 since its release, and I still see evidence of posterization
that Vuescan doesn't show.  The artifacts I'm refering to are especially
noticable in skin tones, but Ns could be affecting other tones as well ...
and since Vuescan implies my scanner is ok, I suspect the software ... and
it could be affecting your model as well.
