Nikon Coolscan IV ED LS40 for Mac. Free Nikon Mac/OS Classic Version 1.2.0 Full Specs. In firmware version 1.1, scans took longer to complete in Mac OS X than in Mac OS 9.x. This problem can. Making Nikon Coolscan 5000 work under Windows 7 (including 64-bit), 8, and 10. The procedure below was compiled for Windows 7. The only other trick you would need to do to install Nikon Scan under Windoes 8 and 10 is to make Windows 8/10 install an unsigned driver.
VueScan is compatible with the Nikon CoolScan 5000 ED on Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows RT, Windows 10 ARM, Mac OS X and Linux.
This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.
Jan 15, 2009 I've never installed a single bit of Nikon's software for the Coolscan IV ED. Same goes for all of the others. Completely unnecessary IMO. I'm running them now on Mac OS X v10.5.6 with the latest version of VueScan. I bought the Nikon Coolscan IV ED used about 2 years ago for $235. It proves to be a superb scanner. Software may be an issue for some users, depending on the computer/operating system used. Some report success with Nikon Scan software (free from Nikons' website), and some don't. I worked great for a while on my Mac running 10.5.8, but then it refused. Fortunately, Vuescan has come to the rescue with it's ridiculously cheap ($39.99) scanning.
It scans with both visible light and infrared light in a single pass.
Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. 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.
All types of Nikon film adapters are supported, including the SF-210 slide feeder.
If you're using Windows and you've installed a Nikon driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.
You can use this scanner on Mac OS X and Linux without installing any other software.
