It is very difficult to find the respective device driver for COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED)-related hardware because the information and support is hard to find on Nikon's site. Even if you have the expertise, finding, downloading, and updating COOLSCAN IV ED (LS-40 ED) drivers can still be a tedious and messy process. An improper driver download can lead to issues with software and harm the functionality of the computer.
It is generally advised to use a driver software as updates can be time consuming and complex. A good driver update service ensure that you have current compatible drivers and builds a backup of all current drivers before making any changes. Driver backups offer an instant, secure way to restore a driver to an earlier configuration, if needed.
After all the horror stories about software problems, I took the plunge and installed the V3 software on my K6/400 196Mb W98 setup. It worked a treat first time! Scans are superb; the dirt reduction option a real bonus for anything but the cleanest negs.I was thinking of getting a digital camera, but the Coolscan has given my 25 year old Canon system a new lease of life! My friends with digital cameras are impressed when I say the scans are over 12 Megapixels.Fuji Sensia 2 slide film scans beautifully, but Kodachrome is just too contrasty. Have restored and reprinted some 35 year old slides and they look like new.
This scanner produces excellent results for the price you pay. I use this scanner to make high quality duplicates on a digital film printer. The digital ICE feature is a dream, and saves a lot of time. It pays to add a little extra RAM in your computer. With todays low RAM prices it''''s only $50 or so for a serious upgrade.ROC and GEM options are very slow on my old PII 300 MHz, but I seldom need to use it with Fuji Velvia films.I am a bit disappointed with the reliability of this scanner. It often produces ''''hardware errors''''and makes clunky noises.Also autofocus is sometimes completely wrong.Switching off and on sometimes solves the problems (but not always).So far the Nikon distributor hasn''''t responded on my email complaints.I also have a remark about the software. This could be better. The preview window is too small and color balance is not the same as the final image in the scanner program or in Photoshop.I prefer to do my color corrections in Photoshop (5.0 LE was included with the scanner).I must say that the scanner''''s exposure is very accurate. Generally only small corrections are required.Wish my computer was a bit faster, I have to scan a lot of images for my website: www.millhouse.nlBottom line: a professional product, but needs a few upgrades.
First, I was very tempted to replace my old LS2000 with the very attractive Canon FS4000US. Because of the many reoccuring problems ( shadow noise, streaks, reliability, poor software & color management , I went to the Coolscan IV.So far, I''m very satisfied with it. This scanner is a remarquable piece of hardware for its price. Performance improvements over the LS2000 are immediately visible. Roughly, a LS2000 scan has always to be reworked with a photo editor. The Coolscan IV produces sharp, clean and saturated raw scans which can be used directly, thanks to the excellent NikonScan 3.1.1 software.As I''m using an old PowerMac 6500 ( upgraded with a G3/300 L2 card and USB PCI card )limited to 128 MB RAM max, I was very anxious but it works fine, even with ICE/GEM/ROC @ 12 bits. Its not very fast but still acceptable ( looks like using LS2000''s multisampling ). For your info, my Mac runs 9.1 and RAM Doubler.USB connection doesn''t slowdown the process and I''m very happy that I can switch my scanner on or off as I wish.NikonScan 3.1.1 is a very powerful software and its features covers the needs of advanced amateurs & pros.In Europe, The Coolscan IV is bundled with Silverfast 5.5 SE, featuring the Negafix function which compensates the negatives orange mask.GEM is amazing, ICE as well. I didn''t use ROC too much but I noticed that, even with recent films, it helps to recover some details in dark aeras. Please note that the Coolscan IV produces noise free dark aeras.
Multiple software problems.Originally set up and working fine and then quit working after about one week. Called Tech support and they told me it was a USB problem and updated my USB drivers. It worked fine again for another 2 weeks and now there is no auto focus and the scans are showing up very grainy. Another long talk with tech support and told it is a hardware problem and I had to pay $24 to ship it back to NIKON to get it fixed (hopefully). Now I am without a scanner that I have only had for one month. Disappointed in overall quality and workmanship that it would break down after only one month of use. Software could be better also.
The Nikon made a bad start, but did the job anyway, eventually. And how. This is my first filmscanner, but i''ve seen results of the LS-2000, and some HP-scanner (is it Photosmart or something?). Only Nikon''s LS-2000 came close to the coolscan IV. The HP-scanner was a desperate loser.
Having read previous reviews, I was fairly confident that I would be satisfied with the quality of the scanner. After a few scans, there is no disappointment on my part.After the initial confusion with the way the scanning software works, my output has been very good. The ICE and GEM technology has been stupendous enhancements from standard prints.What can I say, it does what is advertised and for a decent price.Scans have been reasonable, but do keep in mind that CPU and memory will be constraints especially as you use the GEM and ICE technologies. I see a noticable difference switching between an Intel Pentium III 600 and AMD Duron 800. 2b1af7f3a8
