Subject: [Leica] How not to scan TX400

Hello Leica Users,

I've been away from my Leica for a while, but I'm back now.

I started shooting some TX400 and scanned it using a Nikon LS-4000.  Clearly
I don't know what I'm doing as I'm seeing some screwy results.  To wit, take
a look at this scan:

Why am I seeing all this bleeding around the tops of the trees and the ice
house and the inter-frame gap?   The negative doesn't look like this.  I'm
using the strip-film adapter, have it set to monochrome negative.

Suggestions?  How about a general technique for using NikonScan 4 (on a Mac)
for scanning b+w negatives?

Thanks,

                       --Jim Dempsey--
