Subject: nikon ls 2000 scanner setup

I have a ls 2000 scanner and a g4 mac and find the documentation
for
the nikon very poor and not helpful. I am scanning old
negative-some
are over, some under exposed and some just poor; but I need to
try to
restore them. Does anyone have any suggestions for setting the
input,
output %scale, resolution etc etc parameters? Any suggestions for
a
book or other info on using this scanner.

Thanks
============================

There are 3 solutions.
1:  Have you installed the latest Nikon software which is
Nikonscan 3.1? This is shown to be for the new 4000 and 8000
models but works perfectly well with the 2000.  Considerrable
improvement on the v2.5 that came with the scanner.
2: Download Vuescan 7.1.8 from http://www.hamrick.com.  Superb
software.
3: Silverfast series 5 from  http://www.lasersoft.com - specific
for LS 2000.   There is an older series 4 (which I have) which is
also very good and used to be free for 2000 owners. It's supposed
to have come bundled with the LS 2000 but you had to make some
effort to get this software from Silverfast.
