Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED  Review
Multi-Sample Scan Examples


Click to see at 750X500 pixels

This photo from the San Diego Wild Animal park was shot on Fuji Provia F ISO 100 with a Canon 24-85mm lens at 24mm, f8 and 1/250 sec. Full resolution (4000 dpi) images of the corresponding application of image processing are available by clicking any of the images below. Each of the larger images represent a little more than 1/2 of the area of the original transparency represented above. The larger images are 2700X2200 pixels and 1 to 1.7 megabytes in high quality (low compression) JPEG. All of the images on this page are 400X400 pixel screen captures from a full resolution scan.

ICE in normal, GEM at 3, Unsharp Mask at all,5,5,0 - 16X sampling

16X sampling  

This series was the most interesting to me. The scanner is so good at seeing into shadows and producing clean scans that there is very little difference between these images. If you care to save these images and look at them in your imaging program at 300 to 400 percent you may see a few less random noise pixels in the 16X sample example.
