So it is the data from the CCD sensor after gamma conversion but not otherwise manipulated. Bob, are you sure you are getting DNGs???? Lightroom can be configured to open jpgs and TIFFs, I guess, as that feature is in the latest ACR version. No chocolates for Mark, I think.

Are we talking about Vuescan? I shall have to investigate. I never imagined that it would make DNGs! I have the Pro version of the software. I shall update it and check this. My play with this well pre-dates having any digital camera or Raw converter software. I may have to send Mark chocolates and flowers as an apology for doubting him!

Geoff, I do RAW scans with my Nikon 8000 using ViewsScan. They are DNG files fully editable in ACR (Lightroom freaks out at the size of them; about 540MB for my 6x6). Let me know if you want to know the setting I use. Or let me know if I'm confused (usually the case...).

I also like to to capture as much information as possible edit it with Photoshop. But more than just not clipping or not sharpening. Which is why I did real well last time I scanned with raw scans. I had more juice to work with. Example http://rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/Laterellefallspage.html Last time I scanned this Hassy neg I did not get all the white stuff by far. Verichrome pan in Beutlers. But maybe your right its no big deal as I don't hear to many people talking about it other than me. Maybe I made the whole thing up!
