Re: filmscanners: Canon FS2710

There is no set answer one way or the other to this question - it's whatever
works best for you.

I use VueScan myself rather than NikonScan for my LS-30.  I prefer to
capture the entire tonal range by setting white and black points where
appropriate or even outside that to be certain I capture it all, and
selecting the film type setting as appears best and, if necessary, adjust
the brightness and gamma numbers, and then to do all level, curve and other
such color correction work in Photoshop where the tools are much more useful
than even in NikonScan and the image much larger and appears as it should on
a calibrated monitor with working space color selected.
