Hi, There is some B/W negatives I have to print. Some people say to scan in grayscale, others with RGB colours. Does anybody have any experience in this matter? What will you advise for best results? Thanks in advance for your answer. Michel.

Michael, what scanner are you using? What are the negative sizes and how large do the prints need to be? Tom --- On Sat, 6/12/10, Michel Lefrancq <mail@...> wrote:

There is no one best answer as it depends on the neg, subject & scanner. I always scan in RGB on my drum scanner but from there I will either pick the best channel deleting the others or simply convert to b&w in Adjustments. You may find your own method that works best for your setup that differs from mine. Eric --- In QuadtoneRIP@yahoogroups.com, "Michel Lefrancq" <mail@...> wrote:
