[filmscanners] RE: My best scanner/film combinations

["" <snsok@cox.net>]

I was referring to the best way to scan in RGB if the destination is
eventual B&W from Photopshop. It seems most of the images I have worked with
(scenics, no skin/skintones) lend themselves to using the red channel data,
usually with some blue or green channel data mixed in, depending on what
detail I am trying to emphasize.

Knowing that, I wondered if there were any techniques in creating the RGB
that might improve the B&W extraction.

  This would depend on how you convert from color to grayscale.  The answer
would be a definite 'yes' is you're asking the scan software to deliver
grayscale ... but the preferred method would only ask the scanner to deliver
typical RGB data, and then you'd use a tool like Photoshop's channel mixer
to convert to grayscale.
