Dave,

did you try it out meanwhile ?  Yesterday I scanned a neg in
NikonScan neg mode with as much of the factory default settings
as possible. An analogue gain of 0.5 added, 2 x sampling, 14 bit.
With the same settings I've used Dane's NikonScan
positive>negative method, the middle of the three described.

What is interesting is the chroma difference between the two,
Dane's is far less clipped. Quite obvious in the NikonScan tool
menu. The colours are more saturated in the image. The NikonScan
looks like it has a veil of gray over it when compared to the
other. A bit more red is needed in Dane's image, it was taken
near the end of the day. In that aspect NikonScan neg scanning is
better. There's a risk that the strong colours go neon like,
something that has been observed in transparency scanning before
with those scanners. But bringing back saturation goes better
than increasing it.

Ernst
