Mark Rabiner <<< It must be interpolation, but the results are incredible. Much greater highlight detail, and fine details are beautifully rendered. For b+w the results are far superior to the nikonscan driver. Talking of made up information: I just scanned a b+w negative of a child begging with a scam sheet in Bombay - the boy was obviously handicapped in some way. The sheet takes up a tiny portion of the negative, but the text is fully legible with the Silverfast, not with the nikonscan driver. The text reads: "The bearer of this application is a deaf and dumb and is not literate. He has got two sisters and three brothers. Two sisters are studying in Orphanage Society School. One sister is deaf and dumb. One brother is dumb and one brother is physically handicapped. After his father's death his mother delivered a child two heads and one body by a major operation. After the delivery his mother was died. Please therefore do within your reach and try to hlep this poor boy if possible anything. Two babies born with an attached bodies is issue." Tallyho! Rob.
