Scanning slides for B&W

2005-12-23 by Paul Roark

I'm scanning some old slides to be made into B&W prints.  I have the
impression if I scan them in "grayscale" mode I'm probably only getting the
green sensors and green information out of the slide.  Is that correct?  If
so, I suspect I'm far better off scanning in full 16 bit color and
converting later.  (Although medium format RGB 16 bit files start to get
slow to work with on my PC.)
