I just have a very basic scanning question to ask, and I really hope someone can help. Well to start let me say I went to a tech school for graphic design, and I know photoshop fairly well. And I did have an older visioneer scanner till I just got a new Canon CanoScan 8400F. I am basically...

The negatives and photos I inherited come from the period between the 1920s to early 1960s and are black and white. There are a mixture of sizes in both the negatives and the photos. One lot of negatives are 7cm by 4cm (2.75 by about 1.5 inches) with two pictures on each of this sized negative. ...

Hello everybody I apoligise for any possible mistakes in this message. I own a Nikon LS-2000 scanner. When I purchased it, the firmware version was 1.2, and the quality of the scanned images was absolutely stunning. Since the new 1.3 firmware was available on Nikon's website, I decided to upgrade...

Hi, I currently have NCM set to encode scans with "Adobe RGB (1998)", but for some reason PS reads these as being encoded with "Nikon Adobe RGB 4.0.0.3000" Is this the same thing? PS still gives the option to convert the file to "Adobe RGB (1998), so I'm not completely sure. Any help would be...

The Nikon coolscan 3 I'm trying to install has a scsi to parallel port cable. I'm running Windows XP Pro can't find the right driver to set this up. Any help will be appreciated.

I have been using a Nikon LS-30 slide scanner to scan my underwater photography slides which has just stopped working. I have been looking for a new higher resolution scanner and am considering the above 3 scanners. I would appreciate any input from users out there who have experience with these...

I am considering purchasing a Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED scanner and optional slide feeder. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions concerning this scanner? Thanks.

I've been using a Nikon Coolscan IV ED, film scanner for about 3 years. The slow speed of this device is really starting to get to me, despite the fact that it produces acceptable quality and is still functioning just as well as the day I got it. A full 35mm frame at the max resolution of 2,600...

I ordered a Nikon CoolScan 9000 from a local camera store. I was told that it was on backorder with no expected shipping date. Does anyone know what the hold up is? Or what the average wait is?

I've had to use my WinXP machine for CoolScan 9000 MF scans. On the iMac, CoolScan will not align film strip frames correctly. (Scanning 120 film). I adjust the 'film strip offset', but it either does not offset at all, or offsets erratically over several tries. In short, no way to get it...

I have a Nikon Coolscan II ( internal slide scanner ). I am trying to set it up with a Adaptec AVA2904 SCSI card and Windows XP Home. I am having lots of problems. How do I do it ????

After installing Scan 3.1.2, I cannot access some of the preference settings and the three tabs on the lefthand side of the Pref button is missing. Anyone been here before? HELP!

Has anyone used NeatImage with the Coolscan III? Is there a profile available? I'm trying to clean up my scanned pictures. Thanks in advance. Craig

Hello, My LS2000 is broken. As I'm now taking digital pictures, I don't want to buy an expensive scanner, but I need one for my old slide and negative pictures. An other used LS2000 is far enought, but still expensive in France, so I was wondering if I could not buy one in USA (via ebay), and...

Hi All: I've been looking at film scanners to archive my slide/negative collection (not vast, but of value to me). I narrowed the choice of scanner down to the Minolta Scan Elite 5400, or the Nikon Coolscan LS50. Ed Hamrick's comments on the advantages of the Nikon changed my initial inclination...

HELP! just bought this piece of kit at great expense .. no "scan window" opens? Also the negative strip only loads 3/4 way ... I am guessing one problem is causing the other? Anyone else experienced this? or have any tips? Am gutted. Spent 5 hours on Sunday organising 17years worth of film...

Hello, I'm new to this group. I am trying to get a Nikon LS-1000 to work properly under XP using the Nikonscan 1.6.3 software. The amazing fact is that it does sometime work and sometime not while the Silverfast demo I downloaded always finds the scanner and succeds in making it work. I want to...

I get an error message that, when Googled, tells me the stepping motor is not functioning. When I turn the scanner on, it sounds like it is trying to digest bits of broken metal, so I imagine that it is hardware related. Is it possible or financially feasible to repair this stepping motor? ...

My LS-2000 scans are turning out really bad. It looks like the photo was taken with a really crappy soft filter. Here's an example: http://www.birdus.com/badscan.jpg This slide is an excellent quality, very sharp image when viewed on my light box. The difference between the slide on the light box...
