BTW, you also get real ICE on Epson scanners when you use the Epson software, although none of it works when you're scanning directly on the bed and AN glass interferes with it. Both did about equally well in fixing problems in low-detail areas like the sky, but then those areas barely require any work in Photoshop. ICE completely "removed" a scratch in a fairly detailed area without much loss in detail, while Vuescan even set to "high" smudged over the detail without completely removing the scratch. I was scanning Kodak 400UC(I miss that film-I have a few 120 rolls in the freezer still) and had a couple of decent scratches on it courtesy of my local Wal-Mart's 1 hour lab. I'm away from the computer where I have the comparison scans, but I'm happy to post them when I can if anyone is interested in seeing them. Vuescan can make use of the IR channel scan, but uses their own proprietary algorithms for dust and scratch removal.įor a while, I was convinced that Vuescan was "just as good" as ICE, but did some side by side tests in my V on the same negative. Since I don't yet actually HAVE my 8000 in hand, I don't know if it works this way, but the III, IV, and V have the nice advantage of collecting the IR channel at the same time as the visible channels(the flatbeds I've used make a separate pass for this). The III, IV, V, 8000, and 9000 all are capable of IR channel scanning.

Vue Scan at least for color film is that you get "real" Digital ICE.ĭ-ICE refers to two things-both the infrared scanning channel and the software algorithms that make use of it.

But it needs a Mac OS no later than 10.6.8, Win XP, or hacking the Windows driver for 7/8/10 compatibility. NikonScan offers a few proprietary features not available in VueScan (particularly with the CS9000 model) and arguably wrings that last little bit of extra performance from the Nikon units. VueScan is much less expensive than SilverFast (the only other alternative capable of running a CoolScan 8000/9000 from a 2019 OS).
Most people who are just now looking into scanning their MF film with a Nikon CS should probably start with VueScan, since it can be deployed on almost any OS platform from the last 20 years and presumably into the future for as long as Ed Hamrick remains interested in developing it. The Polaroid is half the size of the CS8000, has both FireWire and USB connections (handy with USB-only Windows setups), and is much quicker for 35mm scanning if dust/scratch removal is included.įor MF film, the CS8000 seems to eke out slightly better more-repeatable results with NikonScan (tho it works just fine with VueScan too). Anyway VueScan runs the Polaroid very well: I've never used the clunky software it originally came with (aside from the very clever standalone Polaroid dust & scratch removal utility, which to my amazement runs neck-and-neck with the CoolScan's ICE system). IDK, perhaps its the more diffuse light source in the Polaroid vs the 'condenser' LED lamp in the Nikon.
The 35mm-specific Polaroid gives me somewhat more (subjectively) pleasing results than scanning 35mm in the medium-format CoolScan 8000. Click to expand.I use VueScan to run a Polaroid SprintScan 4000+ for much of my 35mm scanning.
