Hello FSD! I've been lurking for quite some time-now for a question.

The Scour setting significantly blurs the image. You should
only use it for really dirty slides.

I use a Nikon LS30, mostly with Vuescan. Is there a difference in the way
how Nikon software uses the ICE feature? Which software achieves more
sharpness when using ICE?
Thanks

I had an LS-2000 and the same may apply. The autofocus is not always
as competent as one would wish, and you may need to select the ideal
spot to focus on using the manual focus option. You may also find that
placing emulsion side uppermost improves the autofocus performance.

Somewhat off topic: To store my scanned photos I want to add a second hard

I recommend the IBM DMA 100, 7200rpm drives (approx. 30, 40, or 70GB): fast,

Anyone know what this is? (see attachment) I originally thought

As I understand it, this is not the card's gamma, but simply a point of reference from
which value is added or subtracted,should you choose to do some tweaking there.
Comments anyone?

Ezio,
If I read you right you're saying testing has shown that the 160SCSI drive
outperform an IDE Raid array by more than double. What is the cost of this
set-up? Is there an econimical way to get into this type of storage?

To double check it's actually in the neg you may want to mount in a
slide mount so you can rotate 90 degrees for another scan.
Your exaggerated version looks like something referred to as bromide
drag in BW film processing. Bromide drag is usually caused by
inadequate agitation, but
