Hi Group,

Have been using a Nikon D70 in the raw mode and bringing the pics into
Photoshop CS2 as raw, a nikon filter takes over and allows me to adjust
prior to actually opening in photoshop. I am getting good results.

I still use my F80 film camera and scan the negs with a nikon coolscan 4000
using vuescan but as I am needing large files for printing I was wondering
whether if I scanned using vuescan raw whether is there a nikon plugin that
will read the vuescan raw files as happen with the D70 files.

Thanking in advance all those that take the time to reply

David

No. The RAW files that scansoftware can sometimes save, are completely
different from the RAW files of a digital camera.

According to the VueScan Website, Adobe Lightroom can read VueScan's RAW
DNG files.

While Lightroom would add another program to your workflow, you might
find that it would work well for both digital and scanned images.

I haven't yet used Lightroom with my scans, but I like it a lot for
working with digital images.

Hope that helps. ...pt

I'm sure it does, but you have to remember one thing: DNG does not
always contain RAW data and if you save a scan to DNG you are not
getting a RAW file. You are getting a DNG file which contains RGB data.
As Lightroom can also read TIFF, it would be more or less the same as
saving TIFF's and importing those in Lightroom.
