These were all done of a 6X6 (2 1/4 square) Fuji Velvia transp. Software used was Photoshop 7, and Nikon 1.3.1 scan software. The PC used was a 2.26Ghz Pentium 4 with 1 Gig of RAM. All scans were done at 4000 DPI. Loading the film, starting the Photoshop and Nikon software and doing a preview took 2 minutes 45 seconds. It then took about 1 minute to select the various options in software, crop the image and start the scan. 1. Scanning at 1X scan and 8 bits without Digital Ice was the fastest at 1 minutes 50 seconds for the scan. 2. Scanning at 1X and 8 bits with Digital Ice was 5 minutes 35 seconds. 3. Scanning at 1X and 14 bits with Digital Ice was 5 minutes 50 seconds. 4. Scanning at 16X with 14 bits and Digital Ice was 73 minutes and 30 seconds. Per the reviews I have read there is a slight improvement at 16X scan, but little or no improvement with an lesser number vs. the 1X scan. Given the time involved obviously this would not become your default scan setting, it would only be used for problem images. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
