Just for clarification, because I was not aware of this: 1) In the case of a film scanner, if one sets the scanner driver to black and white film, and it scans in greyscale, is there a standard method this is accomplished? In other words, does it only use the green channel to create the scan or

Then what happens when an image scanned in colour is desaturated in Photoshop and printed with colour inks. Epson do say, as you mentioned also, that by printing in this manor gives a smoother gradient. By keeping the scan colour RGB and desaturating it there is more information kept than

I haven't used either MF scanner in discussion, but I seem to recall that Polaroid is working on a new holder for their MF scanner. However, there might also be another consideration... Nikon scanners require a flatter image to remain sharp throughout the scanned image due to a more limited

Hi everybody, on my combo (Athlon 900, Win98SE, Nikon LS-40) I cannot load saved options - if I load an option file different from the current one, oddly enough, the sliders move accordingly but neither the text fields change nor the preview is affected by the changes that should have taken

Ralf, this doesn't really answer your question, but I turn off the sliders/buttons :) - so I'll leave that for someone else. But Vuescan is now setup to automatically separate the options for negatives and slides in the *one* INI file. (I presume this also works for the LS40?) It should

According to Ed Hamrick, in his software, all channels scan equally percentage wise for black and white. For chromogenic films, I do not know because it would seem you would not be setting the scanning software on grayscale or bw when scanning it but on RBG even though it is suppose to produce
