Todd -- I'm not taking sides in your debate with Austin, though enjoying the dialog, nonetheless. The point you make above (and the steps you elaborate in the following paragraphs) are fairly typical for other film scanner drivers also. Which is one of the reasons I generally disregard scanner "speed" comparisons. 1. Time to "set up" the scan often exceeds the time taken to actually perform the scan, at least for the way I work. 2. Time spent fiddling with the image in Photoshop afterwards completely dwarfs the scan time + scan setup time. It's like asking which brand of car will get you from 34th St. to the Bronx in the least time. I've also questioned Austin before (and agree with your skepticism) that exposure times can be varied willy-nilly with no effect on scan quality. This is quite contrary to my experience with film scanners and photography in general. rafe b.
