Super Coolscan 4000 Ed Software Mac

Posted By admin  On 22.05.21

VueScan is compatible with the Nikon LS-4000 on Windows x86, Windows x64, Mac OS X and Linux.

Feb 02, 2018  Since Nikon stopped supporting their Coolscan scanners under Windows 7, and beyond, a modified driver was created back in 2009. Since then, it has been the defacto driver when running under 7 and beyond. However, under Windows 8/10 you’ll need to at least temporarily disable DSE for it to install. After that, complete step 9 and you're done.

If VueScan isn't working with the Firewire cable, try a different Firewire port or a different Firewire cable.

This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.

It scans with both visible light and infrared light in a single pass.

Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.

All types of Nikon film adapters are supported, including the SF-200 slide feeder.

If you're using Windows and you've installed a Nikon driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.

You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software.

Nikon sold this scanner in some countries as the CoolScan 4000 ED.

Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED + SilverFast Ai Studio 8

The Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED is a real alternative for very expensive drum scanners. The Super Coolscan 9000 is a award-winning medium format scanner which accepts virtually any format up to 6x9cm. The scanner provides an extremely good image quality at 4000 dpi resolution. As you can see on our film scanner ranking list the Nikon LS-9000 ED is the top model among all film scanners ever built. It is exceeded only from the Hasselblad drum scanners. Additionally, it is the only scanner which provides very good results when scanning Kodachrome films, see our site about Kodachrome-Films for more details.
The Nikon Super CoolScan 9000 ED is the best film scanner ever built. No manufacturer has ever brought a device on the market which was nearly equal to the Nikon LS-9000. As an alternative we recommend you our Scan-Service. We scan negatives and slides with the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED.
As you can read in our detailed test report about the Nikon LS-9000ED, there are numerous film holders available for this device. Especially with the help of the glass holders almost any film up to a size of 6x9 cm can be scanned in best quality.
For those who put much importance to best image quality, there is no alternative to the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED, except even more expensive drum scsanners. And even drum scanners don't have the automatic dust and scratch correction so that one can confidently designate the Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED as the best film scanner ever built.
Please, choose above, below the price information, between the SilverFast Ai Studio version and the SilverFast Archive Suite (Archive Suite = SilverFast Ai Studio + SilverFast HDR Studio).

SilverFast 8 feature highlights

  • The new SilverFast 8 Preview Concept allows to assess the results even for complicated image optimization functions, such as iSRD and USM, at any time. A 100% zoom facilitates to properly evaluate and set the parameters of these tools.
  • The user interface of SilverFast 8 has been completely redeveloped according to current standards. The controls can be arranged flexibly and freely on the screen according to personal preferences. All major functions can be operated quickly and easily.
  • SilverFast 8 is fully capable of multitasking. For example, if several originals are to be scanned one after another, the user can already set the image optimization options for the second scan while the scanner is digitizing the first original.
  • SilverFast SCC is a tool to perform a selective color correction in a very simple manner. Selective color correction means that a single color is selected and changed specifically, but all other colors remain unchanged. A mouse click in the preview window easily selects the color to be changed: SilverFast's Selective Color Correction is particularly intuitive.
  • The Global Color Correction is an intuitive tool for controlling the color balance of the whole image. Particularly older images often show color casts that can be removed easily with GCC. The possibility to restrict modifications to half and quarter tones, allows effortless optimization of even those color shifts that are only visible in the very light or very shadowy image areas.
  • The WorkflowPilot is a wizard that guides the user in the correct order through all required processing steps. Depending on material and intended purpose there is a different workflow that will be worked on with the WorkflowPilot step by step.
  • SilverFast HiRePP will dramatically speed up the process of loading and working large image files.

Recommended accessories
When working with film strips it can often happen that you accidentally touch the emulsion side of the film. The damage often is irreparable. You can avoid damages to the film material and comfortably insert film strips into the scanner or film holder by wearing fine cotton gloves.
Anti-dust spray is used to clean film material - no matter if it's mounted slides or film strips - by removing dust and fluffs with a flimsy current of air without touching the film material at all. There is no better, more comfortable and more efficient way to clean your film material.

For working with single negatives or positives we highly recommend using tweezers, because otherwise you run the risk of touching and damaging the film.
If you work with digital images - no matter if they come from a digital camera or from a film scanner - you should calibrate your screen. Without a screen calibration performed with objective criteria you run the risk of wrongly adjusting the settings of the scan or the image editing software, which makes the image look right on your screen, but will cause unnatural alienated colours on other output devices (printer, image service, new screen).
An additional strip film holder makes scanning more efficient and easier because you can prepare the second one while the first one is still in the scanner. Then you only have to insert the second holder when the first one has finished. Particularly with medium format films this saves a lot of time, because inserting medium format films in the holder is very time consuming.
An additional slide holder makes scanning more efficient and pleasing because you can prepare the second one while the first one is still in the scanner. Then you only have to insert the second holder when the first one has finished.
