RE: filmscanners: Nikonscan and dual processors

[Julian Robinson <jrobinso@pcug.org.au>]

This is a very unpopular point of view, but my thoughts exactly.  I try, I 
upgrade, I mess around for a while finding out what has changed, I lose a 
scan or two due to overwriting or wrong settings, I do a "perfect" scan and 
find it is no better than I get from Nikonscan with much less effort and 
time.  I go back to Nikonscan...

Like you I reserve it for an alternative approach in rare cases and 
sometimes on these occasions it is excellent.  I do like Ed's version of 
ROC that is useful since I don't have it otherwise.
