Adjusting levels or curves does not lose data. What you are doing is re-mapping the data. When you decimate (reduce in size) you lose data, but changing a value of 187 to 192 does not lose data. The 'loss' occurs in rounding errors. Eg 187 becomes 192.4567, which gets rounded to 192 in

Personally I don't really care whether it's resonance, timing, or anything else - but I *do* know that the commands Vuescan sends to the scanner resolve the problem. From what Ed has said previously, NS reads data in 64k chunks, and he modified later versions of Vuescan to instead read one

Ian, I can see you're upset about this, but I think you're letting your anger get in the way of logical analysis. I'm not in the least upset with the "problem". I don't have it anymore :-) Users of Ed's more recent version of VueScan don't have it any more because he uses the same buffer size

praises for doing so. I also recall that he spent some time explaining the nature of the fix he applied. Um, so you're agreeing with me here in this respect? Nope, I'm saying that Ed apparently fixed the problem on the PC by effectively adjusting the timing for the data, nothing more. Ian

I seem to remember somewhere, on this or another list, that there was an increase of the Dmax from 3.4 to 3.? when using the multi-scanning capability with the Silverfast software package available with the SS4000. It would seem to me that one could average out noise this way, but not increase

Is it better practice to save it uncorrected at the higher bit depth and make all changes in PS or to make the gammma corrections in the scanner software and save as an 8 bit file? It depends on which you prefer. Both methods should give you equivalent results, since you are applying
