Digital BW, The Print

Loris, I know we've butted heads (in the nicest possible way <g>) over Si
before, but don't you find that for BW the best way to scan is as a 48bit
RGB 'raw' file and then do all the neg inversion and stuff manually in PS
using chanel mixer? I use the canned profiles for colour but for BW 'image'
capture (as it is called in Vuescan) gives you the most accurate data IMO.
