Having left the 8/16 hobbyhorse, but Im interested in the whole RAW data thing. My workflow for a neg roll is thus: (using Vuescan): scan neg profile (the vuescan film profile) loop scan frame save RAW data save scanner corrected TIF (16 bit) correct in Photoshop as required save PNg/JPG/small files for general viewing I archive the RAW files as Ive learnt (early in my scanning days) that Vuescans colour models improve over time, and I can get significant differences ... well, to me at least, with a review of particularly difficult frames. Can I assume that the RAW scan is just that, it will always be the same w.r.t a particular scanner and this negative, forgiving minor variations, but will vary on the scanning software. bert -- Linux - reaches the parts that other beers fail to reach. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
