Nikon Coolscan III (LS-30) and NeatImage

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.scanner (More info?)

Has anyone used NeatImage with the Coolscan III? Is there a profile
available? I'm trying to clean up my scanned pictures.

Thanks in advance.

Profiles are very easy to setup and save for future use.

My personal opinion is that one should probably resample each new roll
of film regardless of what profiles you've saved as there are obviously
going to be variations between different production runs. That may be
extreme, and I certainly don't practise what I preach, however if your
needs are mission critical then perhaps it isn't such a bad idea.

That being said, I was glad to see that there is a profile available for
my Panasonic FZ10. I've had to do my own profiles for my SLRs though.
