Hi Austin:
Ok. Personally, I save from both programs in tiff and then use the tiff as the
bottom layer in a photoshop file.
If anybody feels 'scanner raw' is better than a 16 bit tiff, please enlighten
us as to why.

Hi Stephen,
I don't know what he (Ed Hamrick, author of Vuescan) is referring to there, but
it's simply wrong, unless it's in some other context. Raw data has been around
LONG before Vuescan, and probably before Ed had any interest in writing scanner
software.
It's almost silly to think that it's somehow "special" to get at the raw data.
The scanner actually has to purposely not support raw data, vs, have embedded
hardware and firmware to process the raw data to some "standard" image file
format.
Raw files were also termed by some "HDR" for High Dynamic Range a ways back.
Regards,
Austin

"Raw files can be written with VueScan and NikonScan, but can't with other
programs."
-from the Vuescan faq page.
Es verdad. I've done it with both.

RAW? You cannot scan RAW files or scan to RAW. Those are proprietary files
that a Digital SLR creates and you use Adobe Camera Raw to open, adjust and
then save them as JPEG or whatever file you want, except RAW.

Try scanning raw.
Less messing around. But really mainly good if you've kept your Photoshop
chops up through the years. As scanner interfaces and software changes but
Photoshop is still Photoshop.
