I've noticed that I get much better results from Nikon Scan 3.1 if I disable color management. If I continue using this technique, I assume I should make a profile for the scanner that I'd assign to images in Photoshop. I could also use this profile with VueScan when scanning in raw format - at least, that's what I think.
Any comments on doing this? A collegue at work has offered to help me make the profile if I generate a 300dpi raw scan from a target slide but I'm not sure if Nikon Scan or VueScan is the best place to make a raw scan. BTW, is anyone using Nikon Scan 3.1 with Windows XP? I'm having problems with my LS-4000, Windows XP and the LS-4000's included film strip adapter (SA-21). The scanning software fails to start if the adapter is already in the scanner or, if the software is already running, it doesn't recognize the adapter. The scanner's green light continues to flash after I put the adapter in and the scanner makes a noise until I either force-quit Nikon Scan or power cycle the scanner. The slide adapter works fine. Thanks, Fergus
