[APML] Scanning Raw (was Fuji Provia 400 F Push Processing)

It's strictly my own personal experience, after taking the advice of
more experienced astrophotographers.  I have been able to get much more
out of any given neg or slide by scanning raw than by letting the
software do some of the work.  Now, it may be that my skills after
scanning are not up to snuff, or that my skill in manipulating the
scanner software is poor, but for me the bottom line is that I do much
better when I scan raw.  Probably the only way to know if it's for you
is to try it yourself.

Sincerely,
