I am trying to scan with all possible information included in the scan, like a Raw, and I do think that all is included in my scans. I just need to learn how to retrieve it. The great thing about Silverfast is that all of the information is there forever and, as we learn more about how to interpret it, we can have access to it. I'm still learning how to interpret it. Thanks!
