You'll hear different opinions about many things on this list, but I think
that everyone would agree that Nikon's ICE is nice and far superior to the
SS4000's dust reduction - very effective if you need it, like me.

I just took them outside to take a look. There does seem to be a very subtle

Hi,
Nikon LS2000 an Polaroid SprintScan4000 have different methods of detection
and retouching of dust and scratches. Is there any difference in both
methods when it comes to the effectiveness and side effects of this feature?
Is the function switchable.
I would be obliged if somebody could answ
Hi,
At Photokina in Cologne I saw a pre-production version of a new scanner by
Polaroid: 4000 dpi, from 24x36mm up to 6x9cm, negs and slides, 14 bit A/D
per channel, and 0-3.4 or 3.6 density (don't remeber exactly). The name of
the scanner was Polaroid SprintScan 120, or so I remember.

Is there an update of Tony Sleep's page on scanners somewhere on the net?

models tested with the Kodak transparency?

VueScan and Photoshop can use the extra bits.
You think Epson's TWAIN driver gets 12 bits from the USB but VueScan
can't? That seems unlikely to me. But maybe there's something wrong with
the way I'm using VueScan, or maybe VueScan doesn't yet capture 12 bits
from USB devices.
Or maybe the Epson
I'd say deceptive rather than dishonest, and not really that deceptive - you
do get the advantage of a twelve bit scan for the supplied application,
which allows you to choose which eight bits you pass to the application.
Most graphics applications can't use the 12 bits anyway, and certainly not

Well, as it turns out, I think Mike Finley is right, and Epson specs are
misleading at best or maybe just plain dishonest. I tried an experiment,

Mike, I think you are right, and I have been had by Epson. They lie!
I tried an experiment: I scanned a baseball (for smooth density
gradient) at 300 ppi both ways on my 1200U: saved as 24 bit tiff and 48
bit tiff. Then opened both in Photoshop, and did a levels adjustment,
moving black up to 128
Another option with this scanner is VueScan. Only $40 shareware
(www.hamrick.com I think). I think this software may be best for
negatives on Polaroid's scanners. It has complete flexibility on black
and white levels, and very complete film lookup tables.

Hi Trevor!
Indeed, this has been discussed before (back in August/September, I recall).
