Nikon scan software how to#
I'd like to mention the very helpful 80 pages user guide which does not only explain how to install the scanner but also how to use the software in a very comprehensible way.
It may sound a bit negative, but actually it's a big advantage for the Nikon 9000 ED that there is an accordant film holder for virtually every kind of film, so that you can digitise exotic film material, too like 16mm films or fractions of film with this scanner. Furthermore you'll surely need one or another optional film holder, for example one with glass for scanning 35mm panorama images. Thus for example an image editing software is not supplied. While you'll get virtually a complete set for digitising you images when buying a 35mm film scanner, you'll only get kind of a basic configuration with the medium format scanner Super Coolscan 9000. So you have to purchase Silverfast separately. Since this scanner is definitely not for beginners colour management simply is part of working with it.
Nikon scan software professional#
Nikonscan indeed is a very good scan software, but Silverfast has got the advantage that it's embedded in a professional colour management workflow with its possibility of IT-8 calibration.
It's a pitty that Nikon removed the professional software Silverfast because of rationalisation. Hence it's clear how the price reduction compared to the predecessor mainly comes about. Silverfast, which was still supplied with the predecessor LS-8000, is not supplied anymore with the new LS-9000. Furthermore there is NikonView for editing raw files (the same program that you know >from Nikon's digital cameras). You'll get Version 4 of the scan software NikonScan. I think it's a pitty indeed that there is no film holder for mounted medium format slides supplied, but it can be ordered separately though.
And finally you can place medium format film with lenghts of up to 20 cm in the 120/220 strip film holder FH-869S, for example 4 frames in the size 4.5圆 or 2 frames in the size 6x9. In the mounted film holder FH-835M up to five mounted 35mm slides can be placed. Three film holders are included in delivery: you can place two film strips with lenghts up to 6 frames in the strip film holder FH-835S. Of course this is particularly pleasing a Firewire fan like me. An according connection cable as well as a Firewire plug-in card is supplied. it's connected to the PC/Mac via Firewire IEEE 1394. While Nikon retooled the Coolscan V and the Super Coolscan 5000 from Firewire to USB, the ports of the Super Coolscan 9000 remain unaffected, i.e. The rubber edges on the front and backside are also similar to those of the smaller Nikons of the fifth generation, but they don't play a role because the LS-9000 stands on 4 rubber knobs. The casing is virtually identical to the predecessor, only the front side has been furbished with a slightly different design - just like the LS-5000. The device weighs 9kg - that's the weight category of old CRT screens.Īs I unpacked my Super Coolscan 9000 I immediately realised that it's just a refurbished LS-8000. Compared to the mammoth box the scanner almost appears small with its dimensions of 249 x 202 x 499 mm, although it's much bigger than a typical 35mm film scanner. The LS-9000 is well protected against crushes inside its big box.
Nikon scan software tv#
The size of the packaging rather indicates a TV than a computer accessory - initially I was shocked as I saw the giant box in front of me. Who orders a Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED will receive a packet which blasts all known dimensions. I will refer to essential differences at several passages though. Hence my review won't turn out to be much different compared to the predecessor. I can already say that the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED doesn't differ from its predecessor all-too much. The spec sheet of the predecessor LS-8000 ED was top-class already, the spec sheet of the LS-9000 ED barely differs from its predecessor's. This lower price basically came off because the scan software Silverfast isn't supplied anymore. Like the 35mm film scanners of the 5th generation Coolscan V and Super Coolscan 5000 the new Super Coolscan 9000 has been considerably lower priced. We still have a couple of Nikon scanners and Nikon accessories available in our film scanner shop.
