It had some control but my theory was that it was designed for color
negatives -- assuming that there was a color mask and that "real" data
started after that density. I was scanning B&W which had detail at
lower
densities. Anyway that was in the past, newer software works just fine
for
me now. Whether this is relevant to NikonScan I don't know, but it's
easy
to try and find out.
