I agree with the need to capture entire tonal range, but don't agree with your belief that this cannot be done with Nikonscan. Have you tried Scanner Extras / Prescan mode / low cont neutral? (on negs only I think) Julian At 13:19 06/09/01, Maris wrote: There is no set answer one way or

I am using a Canon FS2710 invoked from PS 6.0.1 via the twain driver. My question is: Should I modify the image using levels, curves, etc. at the time of the scan or simply perform the scan, save the image as a .psd file, then make any modifications later? Thanks... Tom Maugham

I've always looked on refurbs as the best of both worlds... one hand is the lower price, the other is that the unit has already failed in the field (or been returned for whatever reason) and the factory has had to not only fix it but make sure it passes even more rigorous tests than the new units
