Well part of the logic is you get all excited about the whole Raw thing in
shooting ³capturing² and then when you see it as an option in scanning its
deja vu all over again. No you can¹t rebalance your whitepoint from scratch
but the idea of all the information getting to you with no filtering appeals
to me and has worked for me a bit so far.
Plus the aspect of Photoshop I KNOW: All these scanning software coming and
going with these mystical interfaces WHO KNOWS.
Photoshop I was in at at square one on and I¹m totally on top of it I feel.

I notice they try to make ³Photoshop² versions of the scanning software
because you use IT instead of Photoshop as you supposedly get real
comfortable with THAT interface.
I¹m talking about image editing version of scanning software that you¹d use
instead of Photoshop for tweaking, not scanning.
The Opposite seems more logical to me.
Skip it. Skip the scanning interface.
