Hi everyone... Am just starting to scan B&W... now, i realise there are some obvious issues... ICE for instance... but what i'd like are a few basic tips that'll save me having to reinvent the wheel.... :) (Am using a Nikon 4000ED)
1/ Realise that Nikon scans in RGB and then converts to Greyscale. Question: Therefore, would it be better to scan in RGB and do the conversion in Photoshop, etc.? 2/ I like grain.... one of the reasons i mainly shoot on TriX for my personal stuff... what are the issues here? How do i keep the grainy look? Or will it get overaccentuated? 3/ Eg. The screen seems to show a nice mix of black to white and greys... but the histogram shows white peaking at the 255 level...ok... but the black falls short of the 0 level. Am i therefore, setting the analog gain too high? Just a few questions, but any tips and further suggestions are very, very welcome... :) Thanks in advance...
