But, in scanning context: since it is recorded relatively dark, *and*
all colors packed closely together, you need a scanner just as good
as for the most contrasty slides to extract that data....this is
apparently what the Leafscan45 was quite good at & wanted for,
according to my lab (while I thought they would have preferred it for
the large Dmax in slide-context).
Only it's slow speed made it outdated....:))
(or: for which other 15-year old scanner would LaserSoft consider
making a new SilverFast version for?(!)....:))
