Tried Vuescan and Silverfast. Like NikonScan they have issues so
I prefer to stay with NikonScan and adapt the methods so that it
works for me. One other issue with NikonScan is that it doesn't
allow me to implant custom profiles for the transparency types.
Silverfast does allow that but I can't use it properly with
PhotoPaint the bitmap pogram that I prefer for its transparency
and excellent printer driver. It's an imperfect world, Rafe.   In
general I'm happy with the scanner.
