No, use 8 bits per channel. Open each of the buttons at the top, and reset
each tool to eliminate curves, histogram adjustments, etc... then go to the
options section, and reset all the color management choices to none (except
for the one that has no "none" setting and gets reset to "RGB" instead).
Check the other windows here to be sure gamma is something reasonable, and
end points are at 0 and 255 etc... and see if that gives you the expected
result. To see a full set of screen shots and explanations of this, download
the Profiler RGB manual from the colorcal.com website, and check the section
on scanner settings in various programs.
