ICE does not work with my B&W Negs
That's what I was saying (it isn't that they are B&W, it's that they are silver-image films. B&W dye-image film is OK with ICE). If you do inadvertently have ICE switched on for a silver-image film (the software will not stop you) it will give exactly the results you are describing. Otherwise check the end points in comparison to the histogram in the levels control. Don't use auto levels. Nikonscan can pull everything off the neg.
You could always scan to an .NEF file for later processing (except for ICE etc) - this will allow you to manipulate the data later without having to rescan.
If you switch to an Epson you will take a hit in terms of true resolution. The Coolscan has a true resolution of about 3900 dpi when set to 4000 spi. This is better than ant Epson.
Good luck,
Helen
