Digital BW, The Print

Assuming you mean Nikon 9000, you should go to
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/coolscan8000-9000.
Short answer; you should never store BW scans at 8 bit.  Don’t take offense;
in few words, it sounds like both you and your friend do not know what to
look for when evaluating a scan.  Assuming you are scanning your own film as
a hobby like I am, don’t worry, keep investigating, and as you learn you can
rescan.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: [Digital BW] 16 bit vs. 8 bit storage

  I've been scanning via my 9000 at 16 bits but ultimately burning
files onto Gold CDs for storage at 8 bit.<snip>
