Digital BW, The Print

What I find interesting is no conversation about refocusing the scanner.
While we know that RGB channels don't always focus at the same distance,
isn't it possible that the real difference is simply a matter of how the
focus was achieved? And has really nothing to do with a superior channel for
the conversion.  It might be a sensor issue which was discussed. And the
stouffers step wedge is a Tech Pan film stock, or at least they were made
from that, it may also be allowing light to pass differently than Elfe,
Adox, Ilford, etc.  

 

And Roy, Do you know for what version of PS your information pertains to?
All? 

 

Personal testing is still the order of the day.

Please check out this page...it helped me a ton on b/w conversion.
You need to experiment w/your scanner, but the end result will give
you what you are looking for...
