Hi Robert,

..."scanner corrected...16 bit"...  Does your scanner allow setpoints and
correction to high bit data?  What scanner is it?  This is not a property of
the software, but of the scanner hardware/firmware.

It shouldn't vary with the scanning software.  Each different scanner may
handle raw data differently, and of course, will give you different data
based on the exposure time, the A/D, characteristics of the CCD, so it won't
really be exactly the same.  Some may be quite close, but some may be quite
different.

Regards,

Austin
