I think using NLP would really shorten the post processing time after scanning raw format.Īs i know Digital ICE / dust/scratch reduction doesn’t work on B/W negatives. People recommended this, but it takes a lots of time if you have a large collection of scans. I have used the scanner, prior NLP existence, only for scanning and am doing all the post processing now in Photoshop/Lightroom.

In case of normal scanning (not raw), if you don’t want to do much post processing after scanning, then you better get everything done in the scanner software.

For normal scanning (not raw) sometimes Vuescan does it better than NikonScan, it just depends on the film material/quality shots. Since you will be using Negative Lab Pro (NLP), then maybe its better to use Vuescan. Some people favor for Vuescan, just try it out and see which one you like. You can either install the trial version of Vuescan for its Nikon drivers or get some free 64bit usb drivers for it on the internet. Just google for it and you can download version 4.0.3. The NikonScan software was supported up to Windows Vista 32bit, but you can get it working for Windows 10 64bit.

Vuescan windows 10 64 bits
