Digital BW, The Print

Julian,

How do you set endpoints outside the data? Vuescan seems to express the
endpoints as percentage values frmo 0 to 100% where you can clip data but
not compress it. Can you set values lower than 0% or higher than 100%, or
is it simply a matter of readjusting the endpoints using the levels or
curves tools in PS afterwards?
