Hi

One of my favourites with colour images is to use two Hue/Sat adj layers. With b/w scans I 
actually do the scan in greyscale in Vuescan - I tried RGB and desaturation or channel 
mixing but with my FS4000 there was no real difference for what was a more long winded 
procedure.  If your setup gives better RGB scans then I have a page at <http://
www.northlight-images.co.uk/bwfromcolor.html> which contrasts all the different 
techniques I've found (as ever any new ones greatfully accepted :-)

Hope this is of use

bye for now
