Digital BW, The Print

Until recently I used NikonScan, the software that came with my
scanner.  I had tried VueScan several times and found it clunky. 
However, when I began using Delta 100 film I tried VueScan again and
found that the current version is somewhat easier to use than previous
versions.  That said, if you've not used it before it might be good to
get someone to go over some of the fine points with you.  It is the
fine points that make it worth using.
