I don't believe that is a result of VueScan, per se. I have not had that sort 
of result scanning KR with VS on my Canon 
FS4000 scanner. Whether it is your scanner, perhaps in some combination with VS 
and its settings, I don't know, but it 
is not VS alone.

You were having lots of trouble with KR and SilverFast, too, although as much 
or more color troubles as funny textures.

Perhaps AG or CH, our resident Nikon scanner experts (even though CH's scanner 
is dead now) have some insights in to 
possible causes? The Nikons, with their more coherent light source do have a 
reputation of exacerbating dust, scratches 
and grain, but this seems extreme to me. If you feel like sending an outtake or 
two my way, I could see how they scan on 
a quite different scanner.

We had Canadian friends visiting a few weeks ago. He is something of an über 
techie, with a great deal of photo, audio 
and video gear, including several scanners of various sorts. When he got home, 
he found an FS4000, and tells me it's the 
best of his bunch for IQ.

I got to play briefly with his D800 with Canon 28-300 IS lens. Unfortunately, 
I'd have to work out some in order to be 
able to use that combo. Fortunately, I have my E-M5. :-)

Much better, at least for the web size we see. Much clearer, slightly better 
color and none of the irritating 
texture/noise/grain/whatever troubles. Quite nice now.
