Re: [Digital BW] Scanning Black and White With Vuescan

2007-07-15 by djon43

Silver B&W scans perfectly with the B&W setting but maybe C41 B&W is
different? 

Importantly C41 B&W allows use of Infared...maybe that wants RGB?
Don't know about that.

Butzi's advocating an outright silly workflow IMO. He's paying
attention to the "look" of the scan on his monitor rather than his
post-processed file (or soft proof) in Photoshop, his print, or
Internet image. Bassakward.
