Re: filmscanners: Nikon 4000 ED Review Part III

["Edwin Eleazer" <ee907@earthlink.net>]

You know, offering the full ICE3 for us earlier scanner owners would sure
endear me to Nikon when it came time to upgrade, even if I had to pay some
kind of modest "licensing" or "upgrade" fee.
I find the performance of NS 3.0 to be great, as long as importing the
images into photoshop. But using it stand alone it tends to crash when
making the 3rd scan, if you haven't already saved the images and closed them
out of the program. Comparing it and Vuescan does reveal the advantages of
the grain reduction Ed has incorporated into his program, although the
colors take a little more adjustment in Vuescan. The focus adjustment in
particular in NS 3.0 seems very precise, yielding very sharp images on my
LS-30, grain and all. Thus the need for the full features of ICE 3.
