OOpss.. I missed the "Howtek" line.. too much going on at once..

I'd still recommend green or channel mixing (particularly if scanning 
color positive materials).. I'll leave the call to you on what you'd 
recommend for color negative or traditional silver B&W negs.. but now 
that I think about it.. Would you recommend a different color for 
chromagenic B&W than silver?
