Some scanners might yield better results (less noise, more detail) from one color channel over another. By scanning in RGB, you can take your pick. Downside? The file is three times larger. I couldn't notice any difference using Vuescan and a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 in the prints. I could notice a huge difference in how fast my harddrive filled up. So I scan in grayscale. Save the bits. That should be a bumper sticker. :) -- Eric http://canid.com/
