What scanning software are you using?  I also have an SS4000 and use Vuescan
7.5 and my scans are MUCH BETTER than I got on the Kodak PhotoCD and on a
Canon FS2710.

Subject: Noise on my SS4000

Thanks everyone for the input on cleaning out my dusty SS4000.  I did try
spraying out the dust, although I'm not sure how much good it did.  I did
some comparisons between a Kodak Photo CD scan (18MB) vs a 4000DPI scan I
did with the SS4000, and was shocked to see that there was a lot more noise
in the SS4000 scan.  It just looked "grainier", if that makes sense.  Makes
me think that maybe I should just be making $1.75 scans at the lab and save
myself the headache of spending hours trying to get a decent scan out of the
Polaroid.  The time saved would be significant...I spent $65 to for 30
perfect PhotoCD scans, in comparison to the 5 or so hours it took to make
those same 30 scans at home and then spot, adjust, etc.  Comments, anyone?
