Re: [Digital BW] For those using the Nikon ED 4000 to scan B&W negatives

See Silverfast Ai 6.0 @ http://www.silverfast.com It is a very powerful tool (for negatives especially).. I scan as Grayscale negative (using specific profiles for 50+ films) and output 16bit to PS. Very smooth and wide histograms...
