Hi Ernst

Thanks for the quick reply. Based on what you said, I should get the Silverfast 
software rather than use the Nikon software. Is that something I can download 
- I used Silverfast on my Epson 2450, always saving up important scans for 
Bowhaus' Crossfield Drum Scanner. But I liked the layout of the SIlverfast. 

I shoot 6x7, so anyone (ie Tom who also replied - thanks) using 6x6 wouldn't 
get the same cropping problem, I'm guessing. 

Oh, also, my first test scans were done in 8 bit and flew through. Now I'm 
doing the for-real 16 bit scans (14-bit??), and after the scan is done, the 
image seems to be taking forever (I'm still waiting after 30 minutes) for it to 
gradually appear onscreen in a series of blocks. Is this normal in 14/16 bit?


Thanks again

Nick
