[APML] More SS4000 scanning questions

[Alan Voetsch <alanv12952@yahoo.com>]

Hey all,

Please don't shoot me, I'm working my way through Jerry's cd and have
the following questions:

1. I notice so far in his examples, that he has color management 'off'.
Is there a reason for this?

2. When I scan and save 'raw' images, the dialog indicates that it is a
12 bit image. I had hoped for 16 bits. What goes?

3. To save time when scanning lately, I have not been doing pre-scans.
I simply do the full res scan and go to the next one? Is this OK, as
I'm scanning and saving untouched 'raw' images?

4. I've asked this before and the answer made sense. For 35mm color
negative film, is a scan setting higher than 2700 dpi useful? I had
someone tell me in an off-topic discussion on the Losmandy group that I
should be scanning at the highest resolution, 4000dpi in this case.

5. In a related question, should slide film (E200) be scanned higher
than 2700dpi, seeing as it has higher contrast?

I'm sure there will be more later, thanks in advance for your comments.

Alan
