<a href="mailto:ewald@pobox.com">ewald@pobox.com</a> said:<br>
<i>&gt; The main use is for scanning negatives. For negatives, density of blue</i><br>
<i>&gt; is ~3x that of red, and that of green is ~2x that of red (hence the</i><br>
<i>&gt; orange color of the negative mask). So if you scan with 1:1:1 exposure</i><br>
<i>&gt; time, the green channel will only use 1/2 of it's full range. In other</i><br>
<i>&gt; words, you have lost one bit of what is basically your luminance. The</i><br>
<i>&gt; blue channel is filled for only 1/3 and this poor blue definition can</i><br>
<i>&gt; also be very visible to the human eye.</i><br>
<i>&gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; All this can be solved by scanning with a 1:2:3 exposure so that the</i><br>
<i>&gt; full range of all channels is utilized. </i><br>
<p>
If I look at the RGB values after a scan of a negative, the values of all <br>
channels go from 0 to 255, so I'm not quite sure of what you are trying to do.<br>
<p>
Putting the multiple scan issue aside you can't get more than 8 bits of <br>
resolution per channel so that you don't loose definition on the blue channel, <br>
you loose dynamic range.<br>
I.e. you do not extract the clearer blue details, but you do keep the full 8 bit<br>
color resolution for the dynamic range that was scanned.<br>
Am I missing something here ?<br>
