Robert Studdert replied: >>Possibly by having a base colour that is more neutral<< I'm a little perplexed. If you can filter a color in conventional color printing -- base, dye or otherwise -- you should be able to filter it in a digital scan with the correct settings. One of the first things that amazed me about scanning was that the scanner seems to handle various types of film much more easily than conventional means. When I make my own color prints in the darkroom the greatest challenge was filtration. Even slight exposure differences caused color shifts, for which I had to adjust filtration. My scanner does an amazing job of handling color. It must be doing something right in all that prescan buzzing and humming. Dave
