Interesting, I think. Having recently found a new V ED up here, I've
been wondering about getting Vuescan. Now, I haven't been really
following Fernando's thread. However, looking at your scans I don't see
any flare. The scans, with either Nikonscan or Vuescan, look OK to me.
Perhaps I'm not looking for the flare in the right place?
For the time being, I don't expect to be doing a lot of scanning. I do
have a long-term project to scan my parents slides from the 1960s.
Nevertheless, I would be interested in your assessment of Vuescan and
its output relative to Nikonscan.

Subject: [OM] Nikon V-ED scanner and software test
I just whipped up a quick comparison of a problem slide in the Nikon
Coolscan V-ED.
First image is using NikonScan straight with no processing other than
ICE dust removal.
Second image is using NikonScan with DDE and ROC turned on.
Third image is using VueScan straight.
Fourth image is using VueScan with Multi-exposure.
I did make a mistake and didn't catch it until too late, but will redo
it at some point. The Vuescan output was sRGB whereas NikonScan was
aRGB. All further modifications and resizings and color-space changes
for the web was done in PWP 5.0.
The VueScan images look the same, but if you look at the border (plastic
frame) of the slide, you'll see that the straight VueScan scan was
boosted by the software (a bit of auto-exposure in processing) so the
shadows show no difference as compared to the multi-scan. Also, since
the output color space was sRGB, the shadow-detail of multi-exposure,
was kinda lost as those details were within the zone of loss in the sRGB
color space.
At least it shows the flare.
