Re: filmscanners: OT (slightly): Epson 640U

["IronWorks" <ironworks@ameritech.net>]

Vuescan outputs in RGB only but not in sRGB alone about 9-10 other RGB color
spaces are listed including Adobe, Bruce, Colormatch, Apple. etc.

Vuescan also does output in 8 or 16 bits at your option (and 64 bits BTW).

| Technically yes, but I am unaware of software to do so or the settings in
Epson's twain driver.  A hint from David Miller makes me think different
conversions are done based on your destination choice.

| Unless Ed has changed VueScan it only outputs in sRGB and 8 Bits.  The
conversion from 16 to 8 is done in the scanner, which can be fed the table
to do the conversions _with_ but I don't know of any program doing so.
Perhaps silverfast.
