Hi All:
I've been having a problem with my Coolscan V ED over the
last few days. I've been trying to improve a scan of an old,
poorly exposed slide, so I've been using lots of adjustments
to get an acceptable result, viewed in the Preview pane.
However, when I then do a full scan, the result is wildly
different from either the "Processed" or unprocessed previews,
as if the main scan is not using the settings set up for the preview.
(The one exception is the ROC, but that feature is unusable for
me as on all settings it provides heavily posterised and garish
colours. One odd thing is that there is virtually no difference
between setting 1 and 10 in ROC.)
I tried resetting preferences to Factory Default, which didn't help,
and I then tried reinstalling Nikonscan 4.0.2. I then noticed that
even after deleting the entire Nikon directory, that prior Preferences,
control settings and even the last preview were unchanged!
That suggests to me that Nikonscan has a cache somewhere "outside"
the Nikon directory. Any suggestions where this might be? I'm
concerned I have some conflict between where the preview and
main scan are getting their settings from. For example, I have 2
copies of DRAGNKL1.dll in different directories reporting the
same version number but with quite different dates (one has a date
4 months prior to when that version was available :-(
Any help would be appreciated, I have also sent this in to Nikon support.
Regards
Ian
