Austin,
With mixed feelings so far! My unit had something loose inside the case when
I unwrapped it, and eventually I got the offending object out - a very small
black screw. Not knowing what damage this might have done to the optics
whilst rattling around during transit, or what part it might

Good. Thats where I am.
If you have the time to work with that large a file,
and the disk space or other storage to do so, then go and do it.
Thanks.
wonder what you'll be doing when
Robert,
You
are telling me that there is no point in using 16 bit, yet working
with grayscale there is!
Grayscale only has one channel, and the TOTAL number of bits available is
only 8 bits per pixel, for 8 bit grayscale. For color, there are three
color channels available, and therefore the

The tools of tomorrow, be they better hardware,
or better software, may allow me to manipulate
the 16 bit data (14 bit in my case), better
to produce a better looking image.
If I have 256(8bit) greens in my file, and in the
other I have 257(16bit), then I have more to

Bert, I'm with you. These guys must be smoking dope besides having poor
color discrimination. This exchange is hilarious.

Unfortunately I'm not one of the lucky majority who have scanners that
produce data with more than 10 bits per channel. I am still stuck with my

Hi Rob,
I dispute the claim that
if you have
to do a significant amount of adjustment after scanning that you haven't
done it right. It depends on the circumstances.
Hum. Obviously, I disagree, and note, it's not just after scanning but
after scanning and letting the scanner do setpoints
