Film Scanning Strategy: Raw CCD?

Seems like one option for scanning film would be to save the 100% raw CCD output
and the re-scan from those files as needs dictate.

Seems like that would be the most flexible and *maybe* re-scanning/formatting
would be fast enough (or at least unattended enough) so as TB nearly trivial.

Anybody tried this approach? I don't even know for sure if VueScan supports
such options - but logically it would.

I think you're describing the Vuescan Raw File concept. It works for
me. I crop, rotate to landscape (as necessary), and clean these Raw
Files of dust and scratches (by various means), then scan-from-disk
(Vuescan term), using crop maximum, rotation none, and various color
balance settings.
