RE: [Digital BW] Scanning HiBit

Dave,

Hibit mode in the Silverfast software is actually a RAW file format. As such
you need to check box in the options that says something like "HDR OUTPUT".
This allows Silverfast to lighten up the image so that it is workable in
Photoshop or better yet Silverfast HDR.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Scanning HiBit


  This might be a tad of topic but someone here may have the
  answer. I am scanning 2 1/4 with my epson 1600 using
  Silverfast Scan software. Silverfast gives great control over
  scanning chromes, and b/w, as long as I don't scan HiBit. But I'll
  be darned if I can get a good scan in HiBit from Silverfast. The
  scans are dark and difficult to adjust in PS. Yet scans from the
  Epson driver in HiBit (even with the crude controls) turn out much
  better. So much better that I must be doing something wrong but
  can't figure it out. Any ideas?

  Dave
