seems like vuescan might be useful, but here are my gripes. maybe
somebody can set me straight....
my hardware is the nikon ls 8000.
i tried the tryout version...which seems useless for critical
comparisons, because of the "$40" on the final image. that's my first
gripe. it may be cheap, but I don't want to spend any $$ unless it will
improve my result.
second, it seems to take a very long time to scan, render and save,
compared to the nikon scan software.
It seems to be very kludgy about helping to identify a particular
image. It will do preview scans of everything, but that also takes a
very long time.
its only advantage seems to be the way the software is tuned to the
film. I use fuji Reala, and it seemed to produce a much better
preview scan right out of the box. BUT i'm not sure that alone is
worth it. any thoughts?
