The 5470c scans at settings up to 16 bit, but the output from the resident software, HP PrecisionScan Pro 3.1, is only 8 bit max. HP's advertising and spec sheet for this scanner unfortunately does not make clear that the 5470c is 16 bit scan, but only 8 bit out. Someday VueScan will be compatible with the HP 5470c; at least it's my hope and Ed says it is on his list of things to do. Tony... Thanks for the feedback.... but, this is crazy... HP makes a scanner that can scan 16bit but can't output it???? They've totally lost the plot :) And the strange thing is that at no point do they mention that the software will not output 16bits.... why have the settings to scan at 16 bit if they can only output 8 bit... sad part is i told my friend not to take the HP but he'd already done so and couldn't return it... oh well.... Thanks again...
