I have an LS-30, not a 2000, but I use the Analog Gain with negatives
and it works very well. I will see big differences with even a +/- 0.3,
so you should definitely see something with big numbers. There is a
button in the main part of the NikonScan dialog that says "Apply A
Gain". Is it possible that after setting the analog gain value you are
turning that button off before scanning?
