Nikon LS 9000 with SilverFast
Hi Bennet,
I ran across your post using a search engine and would like to state my recommendation: SilverFast
The LS 9000 is the top device on the market, I don't need to tell, but I was really impressed, that you still can improve your scanning results by choosing a proper software.
Since I have to work with some challenging graphical material (many details in shadows and highlights) it's essential for me scanning with a wide dynamic range.
And that's exactly what the SilverFast feature Multi-Exposure accomplishes.
It reveals even the finest nuances in shadows and highlights.
Another feature I like is the new iSRD (scratch and dust removal tool). The new masks and layers allow you to remove scratches without losing information on other parts of the image.
Ok, the GUI is a bit crappy, thus, you'll need some time to get used to it, especially to use the iSRD in a correct way, but in my opinion it's worth the strain.
They should have some tutorial movies on their page, maybe you take a look.
kind regards
Pat
