Nikon sold this scanner in some countries as the LS-8000. You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver. If you're using Windows and you've installed a Nikon driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. When scanning Medium Format film, use a ruler to measure the distance from the start of one frame to the start of the next frame and then set 'Input | Frame spacing' to this distance (in millimeters). 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.Īll types of Nikon film adapters are supported. Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. It scans with both visible light and infrared light in a single pass. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. If VueScan isn't working with the Firewire cable, try a different Firewire port or a different Firewire cable. VueScan is compatible with the Nikon CoolScan 8000 ED on Windows, macOS and Linux.
