With exposures where you have a black background and very bright points of light you can get bounce back off film plate in the back of the camera that look like halos. Can remember what this effect is called. Halation? To the original poster: Do you smoke? Looks like you might have a

Harry, you have a very mild case of coma induced by the scanner..its very mild, dont worry about it. I have seen it when scanning astrophotos with an HP Photosmart scanner, but to a much worse degree..you can see an example at (turn up monitor brightness first):

Lynn said Howcome Polaroid users aren't seeing it? Or are they just not talking about it? Mines an Artixscan 4000T a (I'm told) SS4000 apart from the box and the software. You've seen my section of sky I don't know if its any better or worse than anyone elses, but it is definitely there.

Well, we just started using a production LS4000 on a Mac G4. I have to tell you, it is pretty cool. I am really proud of the job our folks did in working with Nikon to put Digital ROC and Digital GEM on this scanner. We just scanned in some bridal portraits. Even though we just had the film

Even better might be a wacom (or other) tablet, which gives the additional benefit of pressure sensitivity. Holding a pen seems much more natural than a mouse for fine movements and raising the pen up and down is much better than clicking the mouse for cloning. Beyond all this I'm not subject to

While there maybe some merit to your comments about dust in the air masking flaws in the slide being projected, I had the actual surface texture of the projection screen in mind as well as the actual viewing distance independent of any dust. Laurie Haven't been following this thread all

Anything USB will track better because of the higher sampling rate. Unfortunately the MS USB mouse I bought didn't like the KT133 VIA chipset on the motherboard. This is a common problem with Via chipsets see: http://www.usbman.com . When I first installed the motherboard I couldn't use USB at
