I use silverfast AI studio, and love it. However I have about 10 more photo albums to scan in 2 weeks, and they are from the 1940s and 50s.
Usually I lower the saturation for the black and whites to 0, then adjust the colors to get better tones. This takes a long time though. I also adjust the greyscale gamut to around 10 - 245 so I get useable black and white shadows and such.
Question, If I do not do any touching up at all, and just scan at the full 48 bit on my epson 4490, leaving the saturation, colors, EVERYTHING alone. Then import it into photoshop CS2 later to deal with all that, will I have the same ability to make the changes?
For some reason I figured that if I removed color casts (on some of the few color shots from the 60s) and did tonal changes from the scanning level I would be better off, but I am unsure how this will impact my work,
I am scanning in at 1200 dpi to a tiff, and I know that is overkill but I like to work that large then scale down.
Disk space is not an issue.
Thanks for the help in advance.
