[Digital BW] Re: Scanners being used/Color Scanning

2008-01-06 by njfranknj

Interesting, Tony, does that mean that it makes more sense to scan as
color neg and allow the software to make the color channel adjustment,
rather than scanning as "Media/Image" in VueScan and convert to
positive in a editing  program, as some suggest, for these "better
film scanners"? 

Are the Minolta ScanMultiPro and Epson V750 in that group?
