From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>>>>>>>>> I found the 8 vs. 16 interesting and educational. Usually you can tell in the first three lines whether anyone has any actual information or not. Unlike most other forums, here even the arrogant flamers usually have some valid information to add. And there IS new ground to cover--recent new hardware like the Minolta 5400 and Epson 3200 give us a shot at a level of quality previously beyond most of our budgets, so there may well be new issues to discuss. <<<<<<<<<<<
I'll second this. It's clear that any adjustment to 8-bit data _must_ introduce quantization errors, and we haven't dealt with that as such yet. Inversely, my scans on my "14-bit" scanner are a noisy mess, even slide film, so I'm willing to listen to arguments that 8-bits is more than enough (and that scanner Dmax claims are completely and totally insane<g>).
