... Simple answer; because you are scanning into a 16bit space and the scanner is not 16bits. That 3.7 worth of information is linearly placed along the 16bit

... A higher DR gives that, yes. ... No. Typically, the input to the A/D will be +- 3 volts, for a 6V total swing. Then each bit represents N millivolts.

Hi Trish, Where did you post the images? I am very interested in selenium- toned prints and this would be a very useful guide as to how I am doing. Thank you.
2001-09-26 by Alessandro Pardi
Austin, let s see if I got it right: the DR tells us how deep the scanner can see into the film, and so higher DR values mean higher ranges of the analog
