Re: filmscanners: Nikon Scan & VS Negative dynamic range
Hmm - maybe this is one of those things that Nikon withheld from LS30 /
LS40???? (I have the LS2000).
I dunno, if this is the case it is unnecessary, but a good reason to buy
the more expensive scanner versions, or alternatively to buy
Vuescan. Surprise Surprise!
If I didn't have this facility I would ABSOLUTELY be using Vuescan,
although I will investigate the clipping settings you describe which I
didn't know about. If they can be set low enough I probably should be
using them. Thanks for the tip.
