[pure-silver] Re: Why does B&W Film Scan so poorly

I have to say that I love the way B&W negs look scanned.  Its not the same
at all as a desaturated color image.  For scanning techniques here are 2 web
sites I found helpful:
http://www.shutterbug.net/features/0902sb_bw/
http://www.scantips.com/

I also learned things from Dan Burkholder's book:
 http://www.danburkholder.com/Pages/main_pages/page1_main.htm

And Barry Thornton's book 'Elements of Transition' 

The workflow process in Photoshop is also important and then there is
printing ...

    Hi,

    I love B&W. Really, I do. But I am shooting with it less and less
because it scans horribly. It never looks nearly as good as when I scan
colour and then desaturate.

    Why is that? Any websites with tips on how to improve this? I did some
searching and only came up with a few replies. At worst, maybe someone would
be as so kind as to explain to me what B&W scans worse then colour.

    Thanks

    J
