[Leica] Scanner software question

[Lluis Ripoll]

Nathan,

I’ve just commented off line to Nathan that I prefer also Vuescan, in my case the main reason is because it made DNG files, concerning the quality, maybe Silverfast give more sharp images but I like the general gray tones in Vuescan, I agree with Tina about save the settings in Vuescan.

Un abrazo
Lluis
