Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000
I think only the 8 bit output, under the "scanner extras" in the "tools palette" that's all you could select. But come to think of it, I believe you could at least try to select multi-scanning for the preview (which isn't supported on the LS-30) but there isn't any other multi-scanning selection in the "tools palette". Have to check out the manual on that, but 8 bit only for the LS-30. - Original Message - From: "Dave King" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 12:09 AM Subject: Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000 Edwin, Do you know if NikonScan 3.0 supports hi-bit export with the LS-30?

Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000
Must have firmware 1.3 or later. My LS-30 came with 1.31 new, and I think everyone had to upgrade to use NS 2.5. - Original Message - From: "Rob Geraghty" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2001 8:20 AM Subject: Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000 "Edwin Eleazer" [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Oh I assure you that it does work, and the improvements in the interface are well worth the trouble to install it.

Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000
Cool. Mine is 1.31. Now I just need to decide how to download the 12MB file. :-P I assume you are worried about failed downloads. I recently downloaded a Music CD Database (about 80MB) . Before I started I downloaded something called Getright from www.download.com . This generally let's you resume downloads from where you left off. There are several other similar programs available at the link. Steve

Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000
Edwin Thanks for the link. But the Euro Nikon website implies that NikonScan 3.0 is only for the LS-40 and LS-4000. It still offers NikonScan 2.5.1 for the LS-30 and LS-2000. I'm using 2.5.1 with my LS-30. I'll wait for reports that 3.0 does work with the older scanners, and provides some tangible improvements, before I install 3.0.

Perhaps you should check out the manual for it before you give it a try, a 2.68 MB pdf. I have gotten great colors on both slides and negatives using it, and the options are much improved. However, GEM and ROC are "grayed" out under the tools palette. Nikon says that the drivers for the LS-30 and LS-2000 are as now unsupported and are "beta" drivers, and advises to wait for the next release, I will wait for the next release, but I'll use 3.0 untill they come out with the next one! Absolutely no problems at all.

Fw: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000
I almost always use Vuescan, in preference to NS 2.5.1, but the few scans I did with NS 3.0 came out beautiful, both trans and negatives, so another comparison might be in order, but NS 3.0 has a wealth of new features and looking at the manual download would explain much more than I could here. It also states that "users of Nikonscan 2.X will have increased functionality under 3.0". I've only done a few scans with it, but the colors are very nicely balanced with 3.0, better in my opinion than with 2.5.1. A certain lake and dam slide that 2.5.1 never really got right between the sky, the concrete dam, and the deep blue water, looks great with 3.0. But, as I mostly shoot print film, I've nevered mastered slides on the LS-30 with Vuescan. As far as negatives, Vuescan gives great results after working with it in Photoshop 6, sometimes the scans appearing somewhat dull colorwise before any adjustments, the NS 3.0 negative colors were very nice, requiring less adjustment. Whether they are better after Photoshop work, will have to wait till I get some more time (picking up some developed negatives tomorrow). - Original Message - From: "Hersch Nitikman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2001 9:27 PM Subject: Re: filmscanners: NikonScan 3.0 with LS-30 Ls-2000 Edwin, have you used both NS 2.5 and recet versions of Vuescan? When you say the results with NS 3.0 are pretty good, in what ways do you believe it to be superior? I would very much appreciate your opinions on that. I assume you are using an LS-30... That is what I have. Hersch
