Re: [Digital BW] Scanning B&W negative in Vuesan - what grayspace to assume?

Ernst, I do think all or some of the interpolations available from
Qimage are fractal interpolations (not the Genuine Fractals product,
of course, just different spins on the shared fractals math).

Correct me if I'm wrong. 

Two of Qimage's interpolation choices seem superior to my vintage
Genuine Fractals. But Qimage's interps don't seem as effective as
CS2's interp, also a fractals math exercise(IMO etc etc). 

I don't see a reason for Qimage, except for its convenient production
efficiencies, and I do think there's a price to be paid
sometimes...it's not the universal solution that its enthusiasts often
assert.

Fractal interpolation has been around for a long time, is pervasive,
not unique to one software brand.
