NIkon coolscan software

NIkon coolscan software

2002-09-03 by Lynne Siler

Since switching to OSX and photoshop 7, I can only scan using the Nikon scan
software, rather than scanning directly into Photoshop as I used to. This is
slower and a pain! Is there inexpensive software I could use until NIkon
comes out with the download for osx?

Many thanks-

Try Vuescan - it's about $40. Once you get the hang of it you might not want to 
go back to Nikon software.

In my experience with my Nikon 8000 scanner, I find Vuescan for OSX to be
slower and more buggy than Coolscan for OSX.  Personally, I don't find
working from the application to be any more difficult than working from a
plugin and with OSX it is actually an advantage to scan with a stand alone
application because you can be scanning in the background (with Coolscan or
Vuescan) while editing another file using Photoshop.
