I'm looking for something that will accept 48-bit raw scans I have made
with the SS4000 and do a reasonable job of compressing the tonal range
without muddying the shadows or blowing out the highlights, and
generate 24-bit files my client can look at and decide which images are
really worth lookin

48bits=3 x 16bit, and your 12bit/channel data gets padded to 16bits when creating a
raw scan in Insight.

Ed, I'm not sure what you mean by "it's the same as 2.2/gamma." When I scan
16 Bit Grayscale using Vuescan and my Sprintscan4000, the first thing I do
when I open the file in Photoshop is Adjust/Levels/middle slider to 2.2. I

Vuescan doesn't offer a colour-managed preview, so cannot be relied upon to give
results which will look the same in PS. Best to do the adjustments in PS, with 16bit
