Re: [Digital BW] Is Camera Raw enough?

2010-04-14 by Lew Schwartz

A few questions:

You scan your negs as though they were positives. I've read about this, but
there seems to be opinion both ways. What's yours?

So if saving the adjustments as a template is non-destructive, is there a
way to write the template info into files so the adjustments will be
incorporated when & if you decide to go the full PS route?

Thanks.
