Thanks Tony, I tried none everywhere and option clicking the white /black,
and auto adjusts. Since there's not a difference between the interior crop
zone and outside I would think that it is a raw scan. Makes for an ugly raw
scan, and judging buy most CCD scanners I've ever profiled darker than what
would normally be a raw scan in other apps like Linocolor, or Fotolook etc.
The Silverfast guide is so badly written that you can't make sense of it.
They even recommend that 'most users' scan into monitor space. Guess that
excludes the list members here.
