Thanks Tony. As I mentioned previously, I tried the Reala settings and regular White Balance unsuccessfully. Perhaps this is something to do with the issue of trial version against full one ? Or, the SS4000 support for Superia emulsion is eventually better then for IV ED in Vuescan for some reason

John, I'm second to your opinion. I was wondering why people continue to complain heavily about Nikon Scan after ver. 3.1.2 became available. I'm not a programmer, and wouldn't mind how exactly it was written and why they chosen particular style of programming, but rather enjoyed the software work

I wonder if anyone else has dealt with this: the included firewire card did not include drivers. There's a driver updater on the Nikonscan 3 install CD, but only for Win 98 SE, and I'm still running 98 orig ver. I found a Firewarden driver online at http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/ but it di

Hi Al, I tried to send this in pribvate mail, but it is claiming an illegal or unknown alias... I see you mentioned Insight 5.0. Although there has been mention that shadow detail isn't improved with 5.5, if you have not done so, you may wish to try 5.5.1, and also make sure that you have the m

What is the secret to getting the absolute best out of the Nikon 4000 Coolscan? So far we have been disappointed... the focus and detail are not as sharp as we'd hoped.. The best results seem to be from if we don't use the Nikon color management and create a raw scan using multisample 16x and I

No problems here... had terrible luck with 3.1 and 3.1.1... version 3.1.2 is fine... the problem with the earlier versions was my dual cpu... Nikon couldn't handle it... yes, it was a Nikon Software problem... a solution was to reboot in single cpu mode... which i refused to do... so used VueScan.

Don't know what your hardware (PC) set up is but if you have the RAM, definitely recommend that you move to W2K it sings... is stable... much better memory handling... and the great thing is, with Firewire... you don't need to reboot or refresh or any such nonsense... just turn the scanner on
