You must be thinking of someone else - I have not done comparison tests, and
rarely use NikonScan, instead using VueScan for the initial image and then
any additional corrections and final sharpening in my graphics program. I
have only Silverfast SE for my flatbed, but not for my filmscanner.

| I think everyone will gain to have a rely good VueScan software. I will.
| (Spec. with negative film ) I understand that you also have done the
| same test as I have with the 3 software's: NikonScan 3.1 VueScan 7.1 and
| Silverfast 5.2. And that you have been looking at: ower all performance
,
| in color, color cast, histogram, contrast, flatness etc. ??
| Please send me some pictures so we can share ouers experience.
| I can send you pictures of Mac Beth , working situation, studio pictures
| etc. Showing how different the 3 and even other sofwares as Binuscan are
| reading the same negative. And some are more flat and some are not so
lively
| than others.
| I will have the best out put from my scanners, not a lot of work
| later on in Photoshop.
