This is true when I've used Nikon Scan and is why I have gone to using Vuescan for the most part. I have only seen this one link or reference to this problem and am a bit suprised that there hasn't been more of a cry of foul to Nikon about this. Do you have any knowledge about this or have you heard this before?
