  • Yeah, seems to be - but I really have no comparison to other home scanners.

    I guess the option of scanning into a 48-bit .dng is a good starting point if you just want a scan full of information. However, because I don't have PS, nor do I require ~400mb scans, I've not been scanning in RAW. I've just been scanning straight to jpg and editing within the app itself.

    If you want I can scan a totally unedited 48-bit .dng at 7200dpi so you can have a play with the file in PS and see what you get?

    48 bit, hi-res or and file-types aren't really concerns for me (I'm not really after huge enlargement). I am after max recorded infos though.

    The manufacturer quoted dmax figures for these scanners is good but requires some type of (quite slow) multi-scan mode. In don't know if you've tried that option? Dynamic range is pretty poor without ... which makes me think slides are going to suck.
