However the .dng option is now there for a Raw save, as you say. Evidently added from the earlier version that I had here. I haven't vuescanned in some time. I now have 8.4.7.1 pro version. So you really are getting the unprocessed linear data from the sensor. That greatly increases the attractiveness of Vuescan for film stuff. As for the chocolates, I'll send Mark his after he sends me the prints he has owed me for 8 or 10 months now! I'll buy you a beer in December. Steve will have to come and visit me if he wants to collect.

I need help! No Geoff. Here's what you do: Go to the Output tab Set Output RAW DNG format to on. The manual is a bit confusing, but if you go look at this it works. DNG format ACR usable You owe Mark chocolates and perhaps me too :-) Bob Bob Adler Palo Alto, CA http://www.raflexions.com ----- Original Message ---- From: Geoff Hopkinson <hoppyman@bigpond.net.au> To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, May 5, 2008 2:29:54 PM Subject: RE: [Leica] Nikon Coolscan 4000 Users.... I need help! Ahaa! According to Hamrick, the '"raw" file is saved as a TIFF. So it is the data from the CCD sensor after gamma conversion but not otherwise manipulated. Bob, are you sure you are getting DNGs???? Lightroom can be configured to open jpgs and TIFFs, I guess, as that feature is in the latest ACR version. No chocolates for Mark, I think.

Are we talking about Vuescan? I shall have to investigate. I never imagined that it would make DNGs! I have the Pro version of the software. I shall update it and check this. My play with this well pre-dates having any digital camera or Raw converter software. I may have to send Mark chocolates and flowers as an apology for doubting him!

Geoff, I do RAW scans with my Nikon 8000 using ViewsScan. They are DNG files fully editable in ACR (Lightroom freaks out at the size of them; about 540MB for my 6x6). Let me know if you want to know the setting I use. Or let me know if I'm confused (usually the case...).

I also like to to capture as much information as possible edit it with Photoshop. But more than just not clipping or not sharpening. Which is why I did real well last time I scanned with raw scans. I had more juice to work with. Example http://rabinergroup.com/ImagePages/Laterellefallspage.html Last time I scanned this Hassy neg I did not get all the white stuff by far. Verichrome pan in Beutlers. But maybe your right its no big deal as I don't hear to many people talking about it other than me. Maybe I made the whole thing up!
