I did forget one thing. After getting my film scanner, I started seriously looking at color spaces. What I've realized is that even more than 16-bit/channel mode, the gamut you use effects printer output more than the bits/channel you start with. I now scan in 16-bit/channel with AdobeRGB color space. This gives a much better color representation when outputting to devices other than your monitor (which has one of the smallest gamuts). So, if at all possible use AdobeRGB or one of the other wider-gamut color spaces instead of sRGB (which is the color-space of monitors). Misha - That's one of the areas that fries my brain. I have yet to find a good explaination of using history that I can rap my brain around for some reason. The one that really gets to me is using the non-linear history setting. I think I'm going to have to just jump into it and play with it until I understand it. -=>Donald
