It should be noted that DPL software is an Aztek product that works only 
with Aztek and Howtek scanners and does not support the numerous other 
drums scanners and professional flatbed scanners on the new and used 
markets. Sigh... I do wish it supported more scanners.

I've had similar experience with ColorRight Pro 2.0 in pulling image 
information out of what look on the light table to be clear areas of 
color and B&W negative films. I'm not saying anything bad about DPL 
(I've never used it and therefore have no basis for comparison), I'm 
just saying it may be more of a PMT thing than a DPL thing.
