Roger, it would also be interesting if you exposed two identical rolls of film, sent one to a good lab for processing, and then processed the other yourself. If the "bubbles" appear on both rolls, then they would be related to the film or the processing chemicals. If they only appear on film that

What you have found offers a plausible explanation for the junk that has
been plaguing many of us although not seen or of concern to others. I just
finished removing at least one thousand spots from a scan. This was from a
pristine, perfect slide scanned on an SS 4000, blo
You could have Vuescan do an index file from the roll film adapter,
effectively creating a contact sheet.

Hi Martin,
I can tell you that dust is everywhere! If you handle slides with cotton
gloves, the slides become filthy. If you place the slide into the slide
holder it will grab any dust that you let get on the holder while it sat on
the table. The minute the motors start whirring in the scanner, th

I just received my new SS 4000, and am wondering the same thing.
Silverfast seems to be pretty powerful, but cumbersome. How does
it compare to Vuescan in quality (not just functionality)? I'm looking
for the best quality scans, with minimal fuss. The Polaroid software
is much easier to use tha

I have started to be pleased with the Sprintscan, especially considering the
$1,200 difference saved. Unlike the Nikon, which has great software,
mastering PolaColor, Silverfast, and Vuescan, all having terrible
documentation, takes a good bit of time. I am now getting very good scans

I'm sure you're right about the fact that dust is everywhere and instantly
accumulates on any slide. But I also agree with the view that a good deal
of the spots and crud are embedded in the emulsion, being either intrinsic
to the film or as a result of processing. All these things togethe

No doubt that the documentation is for hunger. After recently returning a
Nikon Super coolscan 4000 and buying a SS 4000 with the goal of saving
$1200, I have a basis to compare the two and some advice on how to proceed.
The Nikon software is a pleasure to use, and the documentation, while
Mike,
I can't really comment as I don't have and have never used Silverfast. I
would suggest, though, download the trial of Vuescan and try it
(www.hamrick.com). It puts a watermark on it, but it will give you the
idea.
I'm a huge fan of Vuescan and use it for every scan I do.

I've had good results using Vuescan with my SS4000 with a minimum of
tweaking -- I usually use the default options. Sure, the help guide is a bit
opaque, but the software engine itself is high quality and worth the small
payment.

Martin,
I never got along with Insight software, and I bought mine way before Silverfast
was included ;-(
But, after initial confusion, I found Vuescan the best for Tmax 100. I find I like
to just pass the high bit image on through to Pshop. In fact, I wouldn't have
bought the SS 4000 if Vuescan
I've downloaded the Macintosh version of Vuescan, and
tried to use it, and I'm getting a memory error. It says
that it needs 91mb of memory to run? I have 160mb (just
ordered 128mb more - will have that in a few days).
Am I doing something wrong? I wouldn't think that it
would need this much m
Hi Roger et al,
Interestingly enough, my best scans are from Provia 100F and 400F. I scanned
a few old Kodachrome 64 & 25's this afternoon and given their age (decades )
they weren't too bad. Compared to some recent Provia scans, they looked like
that ashtray's contents had fallen on them. Further

Just got a SS4000 to replace an LS-2000. After a day of use I find the
SS4000 is not as convenient as the LS-2000, but the scans are first rate! A
significant improvement over the LS-2000. Here are some observations:

Thanks for the info Wire.
I have a question about the different platforms for this scanner. I ran
across a site with prices very close to the ecost price, but the description
read for MACs - no mention of PCs. Are there two different versions of this
scanner or is the only difference in the ins
They are one in the same. Both versions of the software
