Hi Keith,

It's a tough call...it depends on what you want...if you use red and blue
from a CCD, you're going to decrease sharpness...no doubt.  If you don't use
them, you lose information, and won't get as accurate a tonality (or even
detail information too!) as you would by using them in the mix.  Sigh.  I do
believe green is the best of them all though, for sharpness that is...

I like my ND scanner... ;-)

Regards,

Austin
