I've just been running it in the normal (not fine) mode. At 4000 ppi w/ICE,
8 bit, 1 pass...a 6x6 neg takes about 10 minutes. That's on a 400 mhz G4
w/1.5 gigs of RAM. I have virtual memory turned off. I have maximum memory
alloted to photoshop. (Just shy of 1 gig). Don't know if it's possible to
increase the amount of memory in NikonScan when used as a plugin. I'm
starting to think it isn't.
I'm a portrait photographer; not a scenic landscape photographer. I haven't
used the scanner all that much, but so far the banding hasn't been visible
in the normal mode.
Aside from the hassles of using it, I really can't complain about the actual
scan quality itself. I'm quite impressed with the scan results.
Joyfully, -david soderman- <><
