Well you'd think that would be the case if it were actually doing something in
the scan process. But it doesn't. It just does curves in the same way that you
do them in Photoshop. Maybe they do as good a job as Photoshop, maybe not.

Perhaps in high-end scanners that cost five-figures worth of Euros or Dollars
you'd be able to do something to effect a change but I don't think so at the low
levels.

So I've been scanning with no adjustment and doing everything in Photoshop.

I am, of course, ready to be corrected as a complete ignoramous - it sure
wouldn't be the first time!
