About This Manual
Welcome to Nikon Scan! Nikon Scan is used to control
Nikon scanners from a computer. It can be used to preview
images and adjust scanner settings before scanning, giving
the user control over advanced features supported by Nikon
fi lm scanners, including:
• The Scan Image Enhancer automatically adjusts hue to
produce images with clear contrast (9000 ED, 5000 ED,
COOLSCAN V ED only)
• Digital ICE detects, analyzes, and automatically compen-
sates for scratches and dust
• Digital ROC digitally restores faded colors in old fi lm
• Digital GEM automatically corrects for fi lm grain, smooth-
ing pictures taken with high-speed fi lm
• Digital DEE reveals details in shadows of backlit and un-
derexposed shots and increases contrast in “washed-out”
areas of highlights to produce natural-looking exposure
(9000 ED, 5000 ED, COOLSCAN V ED only)
Nikon Scan also supports batch scanning and can be used
to scan images directly into third-party applications such as
Adobe Photoshop.
This manual has been written to guide the user through the
process of scanning and enhancing images. For informa-
tion on how to perform specifi c tasks, see the “Scanning
