Does anyone really know what dmax is and how the scale works given that it is measured from 0-6 and Carbon is rated only 4.0?
Dear Michael
A I understand it dmax is the level of hype that a scanner manufacturer thinks sounds impressive enough to con the punters into buying their latest offerings. It has nothing whatever to do with the scanner's ability to produce a wide range of usable noise free information from film or print.
These days the pronouncement that this of that scanner has a dmax or density range of such and such number has degraded the value of the information to the point it is utterly meaningless. After all is it not farcical to read of CCD scanners having a dmax of 4.8....far above the capabilities of a drum scanner!
Cheers
Richard
