Austin,

I am using a Howtek D4000 for my 4x5 scans and for grayscale scanning I can
choose to use any of the three sensors. I have set the software to use the
Blue channel under the assumption that the shorter wave length will give the
sharpest scan. How do you think this compares to using a ND filter?
