My mother died recently and I wanted to go through 20,000 slides of my father and explore the best before, like many before them, disappeared into the hands of one of my seven brothers, never to be found. After the sacrifice of the slide show ended with my father about 1000 I wanted to explore. After the sacrifice of my own slides, which ended with 250 other slides. Also, I had about 250 slides slides of my grandfather and then I decided to go with my collection of color negative and scan the best of these as well. A project of mammoth proportions! But the truth is well worth the effort. Most Kodachrome slides are my father. Much has been written about the inability of this scanner to scan Kodachrome slides and said about not working with Kodachrome ICE4. Well, I have good news ICE4 This works very well for the most part, however, with Kodachrome slides that produces fewer artifacts in about 5 percent of the slips. I scanned with ICE (not ICE4) always read and if I find unacceptable artifacts. I noticed that the ICE scanner function is more likely to be confused by old Kodachrome slides in which subjects wore striped shirts. The GEM ROC and DEE (the other pillars of ICE4 different from the same ice) work on Kodachrome slides as well, but I found that the results are unpredictable and that I could get my best results with Photoshop a lot faster. The GEM ROC and DEE features simply took too long and slow scan unacceptable. The results for me were not worth the time to scan. So I never used these features. But the "build" on the scanner I used nearly 100% of the time with great results - much better than the GEM ROC and DEE features. The scanner is fast and does not produce wonderful wonderful detailed scans, simply shows the grain of transparency at 3000 and 4000 dpi Kodachrome slides were a challenge to the dynamic range of the scanner, but I think most of the details in the shadows, because is extracted. The dark images I used the very useful function will run until 2 in the darkest images. Unfortunately, Kodachrome, with all its many attributes, has significant drawbacks to a very narrow exposure latitude and shadow detail is simply lacking. I think that the scanner details, including the colors of Kodachrome images reproduced with perhaps a slight bluish noticed in some cases. It was not until I was finished scanning all the pictures I promised clearance to choose my color negatives to scan. And this scanner really came into its own scanning color negative. Do not even try to scan color negatives without ice, because the results incredibly bad even clear negatives have scratches and dust that magically are erased by the ICE function. What a godsend. The scanned color negatives were just beautiful, with highly accurate color reproduction. But immediately I noticed much more grain in color negatives (Royal Gold and Fuji Superia gold) than in the scanned slides. If an indication is not related to the scanner itself until you use a digital scanner to scan your color negatives can not begin to realize how far superior Kodachrome, Provia, and Ektachrome slides, color negatives, as far as catching details. Even the best color negatives have much more grain that Kodachrome. And the difference in color negatives is substantial too. The included Nikon software worked fantastic for me. I have a copy of VueScan, which according to many reviews is greater than the Nikon software and found that for me the Nikon software was easier to work with and produced superior results software caused my computer occasionally crashes.
