Just a flyer here:

My LS200 is now an antique, but I do recall that Digital ICE did not play
well with Tri-X.  Did you try shutting this off?

Hello Leica Users,

I've been away from my Leica for a while, but I'm back now.

I started shooting some TX400 and scanned it using a Nikon LS-4000.  Clearly
I don't know what I'm doing as I'm seeing some screwy results.  To wit, take
a look at this scan:

    http://serenity.jjd.com/Images/img_m6_r02_04-full.jpg

Why am I seeing all this bleeding around the tops of the trees and the ice
house and the inter-frame gap?   The negative doesn't look like this.  I'm
using the strip-film adapter, have it set to monochrome negative.

Suggestions?  How about a general technique for using NikonScan 4 (on a Mac)
for scanning b+w negatives?

Thanks,

                       --Jim Dempsey--
