Digital BW, The Print

There is a new driver available for the Nikon scanners; Anybody 
tried it yet? is there any point in trying it for the current crop, 
or does it only add functionality for the new scanners?

Yes, I am using Nikon Scan 4.01 with my 4000ED and my G4 powerbook running 
10.3.2.  It works fine, and it tells me I can use Digital Ice 4 Advanced.  I haven't tried 
the new Digital Ice yet, so I don' t know how it compares to the former Digital Ice 3. 

There may be some other enhancements I haven't tried or located yet.  Since I do all 
my editing in Photoshop, I have never explored Nikon's editing features.

I might be imagining this, but the new release seems more stable and reliable than 
the old--I wish I could explain why I have that perception, it could be wrong.

I am glad I upgraded--even though I wish I had the newer models to make use of the 
new features.

I tried it for my LS-4000 since I had seen some report better results.
Overall I saw little difference and for slides actually had some
problems with some getting a weird hazy look (another reported a
similar problem too). Either way I still get much better and
consistent results with Vuescan and so I stick with that.
