Digital BW, The Print

I should probably add this to my prior recommendation
for the Coolscan V though:

People have reported that the NikonScan software tends
to clip the highlights a bit.  After reading this, I
started paying attention to my histograms in the
NikonScan software.  It does appear that there may be
some slight clipping of the highlights, and I don't
see a work around.  That being said, the software
appears to compress the levels very close to what I
would probably do myself in PS anyway (with levels).

Many people use the VueScan software which doesn't
have this problem.  However, the new NikonScan
software is greatly improved over prior versions, and
does include curves, so I personally don't think that
VueScan has many advantages over NikonScan.
