Maris,

For color, I won't dispute that at this point, but for B&W, which is
exclusively what we are talking about on this list, I DO dispute that.  I
HEAVILY rely on my histogram...and I get perfect prints.  When I have gaps,
I almost always have a problem when I print that image.  When I re-scan and
get a great histogram, my prints are always great.

I WOULD suggest relying HEAVILY on the histogram for B&W.

Regards,

Austin
