Re: [APML] Scanning Question



Eddie;
    I have the Dimage Scan Elite II which is similar. According to my manual, the difference is:
  • 16 bit - 16 bit out for each RGB. In this mode you can play with levels, curves, contrast and invert the image. Settings are saved with the image.
  • 16 bit linear - 16 bit out for each RGB with no gamma correction.
In fact, none of the control settings affect the saved image, it is a raw scan. The image can only be saved as a 16bit TIFF.

Subject: [APML] Scanning Question

 
I am using a Minolta D'Image Scan Dual II scanner.
 
Does anybody know the difference between scanning in 16 bit mode or 16 bit linear mode (I have
both of these options).
 
Thanks for any advice/input
