Ahaa! According to Hamrick, the '"raw" file is saved as a TIFF. So it is the
data from the CCD sensor after gamma conversion but not otherwise
manipulated. Bob, are you sure you are getting DNGs???? Lightroom can be
configured to open jpgs and TIFFs, I guess, as that feature is in the latest
ACR version. No chocolates for Mark, I think.

What! Are we talking about Vuescan? I shall have to investigate. I never
imagined that it would make DNGs! I have the Pro version of the software. I
shall update it and check this. My play with this well pre-dates having any
digital camera or Raw converter software. I may have to send Mark chocolates
and flowers as an apology for doubting him!

Geoff,
I do RAW scans with my Nikon 8000 using ViewsScan. They are DNG files fully
editable in ACR (Lightroom freaks out at the size of them; about 540MB for
my 6x6).
Let me know if you  want to know the setting I use. Or let me know if I'm
confused (usually the case...).

Geoff yes I know a raw scan and a raw capture are birds of two different
feathers.
I also like to  to capture as much information as possible  edit it with
Photoshop.  But more than just not clipping or not sharpening.
Which is why I did real well last time I scanned with raw scans.
I had more juice to work with.
Example

Last time I scanned this Hassy neg I did not get all the white stuff by far.
Verichrome pan in Beutlers.


But maybe your right its no big deal as I don't hear to many people talking
about it other than me.

Maybe I made the whole thing up!
