The best way to scan with VueScan, for me anyway, is to output to its raw format, encapsulating the raw files as DNG. ALL of the inversions (for negs), color balances, gamma correction, etc, I do in Lightroom. I built a couple of custom profiles to do the heavy lifting with Adobe DNG Profile Creator.
The scanner is just acquiring the data, everything else is up to me. :-) G On Feb 24, 2014, at 8:06 PM, David Mann <[email protected]> wrote: > On Feb 25, 2014, at 3:19 pm, steve harley <[email protected]> wrote: > >> not certain from your description, but if VueScan works with this scanner, >> it's possible it could give you a more efficient workflow - might be worth a >> shot with the demo > > I knew someone would recommend that.
