Not with the LS30. It should with the LS2000 or the LS4000 and LS8000.

This is a guess, but I believe FARE is also infra-red based. If this is
the case, I'd expect similar results, since silver based images are not

Ammonia is also quite a good solvent for metallic silver,

Thanks to you and a scratched film I have discovered how to have the best

The imported thing is to put the focus area right in the picture area.

Now this is getting out of hand. Ammonia is not used in bleach, in

There is no question that most negative color films are lower contrast
and have a wider exposure range than their equivalent speed in slide
film. If your scanner/scanner software has good ability to translate
the dye masks in negative films, you will get better results overall
with negative

With regard to Vuescan cleaning and ROC in version 7.0+, I found by
accident that there is a huge difference between 48-bit 2700 ppi scans on

ppi settings. In the former, the filters didn't seem to work worth sour
Try some other sellers of this scanner on E-bay. Last time I looked, there
seemed to be quite a few.

I don't know how old that scanner is, but there is a wide difference
between companies and industries with regard to support of discontinued

You might try Fuji Reala if a 100 speed film is fast enough. It is one of
the few low-contrast negative films that has high color saturation.
