I'll plead ignorance here, but I thought the only silver based film is B&W, excluding products like Kodak Portra BW. I'm not convinced Nikon is the end to all ends of film scanners, so the question is when will the whole market die. My biggest complaint in film scanning is the lower quality of th

I'm going to admit I'm a novice at this, but generally you set your monitor color temp for 5000k if you are doing photography. Now the rest of the world will be set at 6500k, so your images will look a bit blue on such a monitor. Stan Schwartz wrote: > Immediately after scanning the slides, I com

Isn't the IT8 strictly for slide film? There is a calibration sequence for the IT8 slide in Vuescan, which I used when I was running the Artixscan 4000. I've unfortunately had to stop using Vuescan when I got the Dimage 5400 II. It has terrible banding with VueScan. The good news is the software s
