I would suggest you try Vuescan out - the demo is free but will have a watermark on it. Essentially, it's preview is not all that accurate, but it will capture all of the detail in the highlights and shadows and you can work on the image from there in your preferred image-adjusting software.

Since I am a newcomer and a beginner to scanning, can anyone point me to where I can find information on the relative merits of the Nikonscan 3.1.2 software as against Vuescan or indeed any other scanning software for that matter. Thus far I have only dipped my toe gently into the water and after importing scanned images into Photoshop I do my tweaking there and am reasonably happy with the results obtained. I have already found the limitations of the ICE feature which sometimes works on an image and then again, more often than not, most definitely doesn't, but I am sure there are untold wonders on the road ahead and would like to get to them in the shortest and least painful manner. Sorry to go over old ground and I hope that my question doesn't upset anyone's applecart. Regards and thanks.
