William,
In a message dated 4/24/04 8:51:52 PM, you write:
<< I am using a Nikon Super Coolscan 8000
ED scanner to scan primarily color negative film. I am trying to determine
the best baseline settings to use to achieve a more linear tone response
curve. >>
With the Nikon 4000 & 8000 and Nikon Scan software, my best results with
scanning color negative film are to use Nikon's color management and scan into
Adobe RGB (1998) working space in 16 bit mode and make corrections in PS. For
transparancy work, the best bet is a custom profile and scan with color
management off.
Hope this helps,

I don't know whether it is the same problem:
Many users of the 4k/5k/8k/9k Nikon scanners complain about the
clipping of negatives in Nikonscan. That may be solved in
Nikonscan 4 but I have seen different reports on that.
Either get Vuescan or Silverfast to scan the full range of negatives.
