it helps that we only use Kodak Portra in our photography business. I
haven't figured out how to get a raw RGB scan off a Kodak RFS 3570+ scanner.
its software forces you to choose a "film term" which is exactly what I
don't want. we just got an HR500 scanner but I haven't had a chance to play
with its new DP2 software which looks to be about 1,000% better than the
monstrosity they bodged together for driving the 3570. the latter is
possibly the worst software I've ever used.
well, except for certain Microsoft products.
I'm referring to the 3570 production software and not the Photoshop Acquire
plug-in, which is decent though it can't seem to give me a raw scan either.
