[filmscanners] Re: Strange light spill-over in Nikon LS-8000scan

Here is a 100% crop from the upper left hand corner of the window.  I
adjusted the levels to make the problem more apparent

And for adventurous few who want to see more, here is a much larger crop
preserved in the tiff format and unadjusted, just in case you want to
look further.  It's about a sixth of the size of the original, but since
the original was a 563 MB file, this one is about 101 MB.
