Digital BW, The Print

hi Val-
i tried using polacolor insight for grayscale scanning and was getting 
very poor spiked histograms. i have switched to silverfast and have 
been getting excellent results. i too, have the glass carrier and use 
it for up to 6x9 scans in silverfast. i have to insert the original 
polaroid mf holder when starting silverfast. after silverfast starts i 
eject the original holder and load the glass carrier and everything 
works fine. finally to answer your questions grayscale scans always 
result in smaller file sizes relative to their rgb counterparts. i am 
not sure about setting the black and white points - but they work great 
in silverfast and from my experience you'll get better scans the 
polacolor. hope this helps
