In the last couple of days I have made some comparison scans using both
Vuescan (V. 6.1 beta 6) and Polaroid Insite (V. 4.5) on the same negs.
You might upgrade to VueScan 6.1.1, although there aren't
any sharpness

Nikon specifically say *not* to use ICE on Kodachrome slides in the
NikonScan reference manual. I assume this would apply to VueScan for the
same reasons (regardless of what they are).
The dust removal in VueScan works

It would appear the default "automatic" is not
appropriate for backlit subjects.
The exposure of the scanner has nothing to do with the
existence of a backlit subject.
The exposure of the scanner for negative film is

BTW ... I use a LS-2000 ... and I have no idea if these features are
available if the software detects a LS-30 ... or even if your scanner
comes with the "feeder" adapter(?)
AFAIK the only missing settings are

I shoot allot against the light stuff, and the scans I get
from neg film are washed out and dead.
All you need to do is use an image editor with a histogram
and set the white point below the color of the backlight.

I have contacted Polaroid numerous times about this, and it appeared to
fall on deaf ears.
That's because it's wrong - it's a SCSI II device, and it's exactly
the same flavor of SCSI as all other SCSI film scanners.

I was scanning a 33 year old slide of Kodachrome, unknown
ASA, in my LS-30 with Vuescan. Anyway, Vuescan could not focus on the
slide
with the infrared channel enabled, but could when disabled. Does anyone

For reducing grain without losing too much general
sharpness, the defocus must be in a positive direction. That is, you must
add to the number that appears in Vuescan's focus dialogue box. If the

I am wondering if the exposure for the Scanwit in fixed in the sense that
you
cannot vary the time of the individual channels and in ADDITION you cannot
change the overall exposure time?
That's correct - you can't

*sigh* Whether it's *really* grain, or whether it's aliasing is kind of
irrelevent.
The fact is that only one film - Provia 100F - has so far scanned on my
LS30
*without* creating a "sandy" effect in the image.

When does the intensity calibration take place (at power-on of the scanner /
at start of a scan (strip) session)?
The intensity calibration for the ScanWIt takes place the first time
you do a scan after starting VueScan

The light in
the middle of the film is usually 20% brighter than the light at
the edges. The intensity calibration takes care of this.
Do you know of any scanners that use a physical means to even out the
