"I'm astonished that so many folks prefer Nikon scanning software over 
VueScan for scanning negatives! I was ready to toss my LS-4000 out 
the window until I switched to VueScan. The Nikon software was great 
for scanning slides, OK for color neg, but absolutely clueless for BW 
negs. VueScan gives me full-range scans of negs, and has excellent 
profiles to choose for many specific color and BW neg films."

I agree with Timothy regarding his strong preference for VueScan. I do not
use transparency film at all. My color negative films of choice are Agfa
Vista and Optima. The Nikon scanning software distorts their colors. VueScan
has settings for Agfa Optima and renders it accurately. I accept VueScan's
user interface the way it is, and I'm glad that Ed Hamrick devotes his time
to constantly improving the product.
