Re: Need help with B&W film scanning

You should take a close look at VueScan at

http://www.hamrick.com/vsm.html

VueScan is a great $40 program. Originally developed for film
scanners, it now works with flatbed scanners as well, including
Microtek. You can download a try before you buy.

With my Nikon LS-30/Coolscan III, VueScan does a much better job than
NikonScan.

If you are using SilverFast, VueScan may not be an improvement.

The VueScan website also has links to some scanning tip sites.
