Digital BW, The Print

My Nikon 8000, using the Nikon software, is scanning in RGB and converting.  You can set the parameters for RGB on an b&w neg and you get a slightly colored preview.  By just clicking the b&w instead of RGB output puts it in b&w and takes away the color cast.  I guess it's possible that it would make the scanner behave differently, but it sure doesn't seem that way.

Well, the actual conversion may happen physically IN the scanner it self, or
the driver may take the three channels, and do it on the host
computer...either works for my point, which is that 1) B&W is actually
scanned as RGB, as that is all the scanner CAN do, unless you have a
Leafscan, and 2) that it uses a "canned" mix, that you can't adjust,
typically.

Unfortunately, I don't know Vuescan at all, so I can't say anything about
it.  There are those far more versed in Vuescan than I, in fact, I rarely
even spell it right ;-)
