Oh no, unless I'm seriously misunderstanding SilverFast, it's totally ICC
savvy meaning you can load your various profiles and work away in the host
software to get the effect you wish. Hopefully someone from Lasersoft
lurking will comment. I know for example, they have a very nice HDR version
that will basically process any high bit file you have, again using
profiles. It's quite fast and does a rather impressive job when you feed it
a color neg that is still a neg (inverted with orange mask).

The scanner profile? You should. I think SilverFast can also make a scanner
profile if you have an IT8. You might want to try that and see how it
compares. SilverFast should be doing all the processing on the high bit data
your scanner delivers to it. So assuming you have a scanner that can't feed
high bit directly to Photoshop, you'll be far better off doing all the work
you can in SliverFast.
