I saved this filmscanners post from July 2000 which I think might be
useful to current listmembers.

Nikon have done the same mistake as Polaroid did with the pree released

Wow, I didn't know that. I better hoard the ones I have left, then.

That is total time to scan FOUR images, not just one. So it is about 56
seconds extra for Digital ICE per image. If you've done any touchup with an
image editor, you'll probably agree, it is a small price to pay. Plus, when
you are talking about finger prints or film defects (yes, brand new film

I've note exactly that, unhappily (I don't mind paying for something that

All,
I could not find whether it is ok to post this sort of thing so if it is a
no-no I apologize.
I have a Nikon LS-2000 that I am going to sell. I thought I'd offer it here
before putting it on ebay. If anyone is interested please contact me off
list.

Kodak still has Gold Ultima on their website. Are your sure they stopped
making them?

AIUI, there is no software control of *exposure* available
to the Scanwit programmer, so you're stuck with the
automatic exposure that the machine decides is appropriate
for the frame being scanned. All Vuescan (or any other
software) can do is twiddle the raw scan after scanning. So

Hi, Todd--
I've been doing Scanwit 2720S since last April. I'm taking it "off List"
because I (and probably some others) think I've probably been hogging too
much reply-time.

IIRC the dyes use two colors together. It's not green that is the worst, but
blue/green. Kodak uses gold/green, which is fairly stable. I've had better
luck
If you use VueScan you can certainly manually enter focus values.
With the new version 7.0.10 and a better alignment for multipass scans I'm going to

Good post, Mike. When this topic first came up, 6-8 months ago on the List

definitive study of which discs are the most stable and/or compatible, and
that b)the only studies *at all* are sponsored by the media

Curiously enough, JPEG compression (along with resizing) can also (and only
sometimes) *reduce* the amount of noise in a picture. Which, to me,
indicates that noise *and* JPEG are not exactly predi
