Digital BW, The Print

Dear Mel,

The only real B&W films are a couple of Kodak ones, so you could set it to
one of those.  I find it best to do a RAW scan  and then do the
post-processing in PS.  In which case it doesn't matter much what settings
you use in Vuescan, you just collect all the data the scanner can pull from
the negative.  Most of the settings in Vuescan just throw away some of that
data, which you may regret later on.  Does that make sense to you?

Yours,

John
