I also feel the Imaging Resource scanner reviews are weak. The scanner operator seems to have no consistent methodology, no particular depth of understanding of how features relate to performance, 'corrections' or adjustments are performed with the scanner interface that make no sense from the

A minor point for future clarity: Little b means bits. Big B means bytes. When people write Mb (whether 11 or 12 for USB) they mean mega-bits. My scanner, attached to my computer using a USB 11Mb/s interface (or is it 12Mb/s? I can never remember which) has such low resolution that a

David, Thanks for contributing to the list. I have certainly noticed the green haze and am pleased--as I'm sure other users will be--to see the profile adjustments. However, the Color Slide2 profile is not an overall improvement, in my opinion. If you can give back the shadow color, the

No! Not any more so than anyone else in the industry. I read a quick post claiming that the review was good and *objective*. I read it and thought: this is the same sort of pay-the-bills purveyor-centered review that typifies the industry reviewing of *everything* from cars to hi-fis, to sporting

I'm not at all hostile to the 4000 ED. It's just a piece of gear. I used a LS-2000 for a few years and found it to be very effective. I'm sure the 4000 ED is an improvement. Bruce likes it; I think... ? I couldn't tell from his review! My intention was primarily to challenge someone else's
