So far my experience with Neat Image has been very good. For an example

I have the same problem and I use Vuescan. In my case

Hi!
First, does the lamp have an auto shut off feature,
Not sure. Both Vuescan and Polaroid's scanning software have a setting
called auto lamp shut off but it seems to have no effect with my unit.
Second, are these
things somewhat noisy? Specifically, during scans it sounds

4000 dpi scans of BW silver film can be pretty ugly (accentuated grain and dust),
I've had very poor results scanning TMax 400 and Ilford Delta 400 with
my SS4000. Terrible grain so NeatImage was a must.

One has to wonder if Silverfast could be cheating here, processing

This is so bizarre! If I scan in AI in 48bit HDR color (raw) mode at
4000dpi and then scan the resulting file in

I know VueScan quite well, I use it with my Agfa Arcus 1200 flatbed scanner,

But putting UI aside, I'm most interested in the capabilities of those

If that's the only reason for the updgrade I would download the free Polaroid Dust

Is there any benefit of adjusting levels, curves, color etc in the scanner
software prior to the final scan as opposed to later on in Photoshop? Does
adjusting it before the final scan avoid the comblike effect on the
image/histogram that you would get from making the adjustment in Photoshop
Alex,
I found the best comment on the topic of slides vs negs in a photo
magazine a few days ago: The negs can record many levels of light (wide
input range) but the slides can capture many more tones in a narrower
input range. That's why usually a well exposed slide looks very rich,
very dense.
