A small cautionary tale.
It appears Vuescan's 'Slide' setting may result in blown out highlights, at
least for my Acer (perhaps it is related to the lack of exposure
control..?). I would be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced
the following.

I used Calidad ink and Lexmark ink in a Lexmark
printer. One year later the Calidad prints have lost the blue / green while the
Lexmark prints have not faded.

Thanks Tony, but I've been using 7.17 since the day Ed posted it's

To deal with the noise, you might try converting to LAB and then using the
median filter on the A and B channels - this should not lose any detail.

Ah-hah! That makes perfect sense. The speckles are too bright and pure to come from
the film itself. It's reasonable to assume they're an electronic artifact, and
aliasing is the likely culprit. That also explains why boosting the black point will
reduce them but not eliminate them. They'r
I expect to spring for the Nikon IV soon, but Nikon's specs stipulate Win98SE
as a minimum. I'm currently using Win95B, but own an upgrade disk for Win98.
My system is a 266 MHZ PII with 384 MB RAM and 2 USB ports. The question is:
does anyone have experience using the Nikon IV with Win98? O

Hello there.
I'm a greenhorn scanner with a frustrating problem. I have a umax
powerlook 111 with the tranny adapter. I've got DUST problems that cause
vertical lines to run all the way through the frame from the top to bottom.
There are several parallel lines like this.
