As I'm becoming more adept at understanding and using Vuescan, I find
that my objectives are shifting. I'm scanning a boatload of negatives
and I think I would like to start scanning/storing the raw scans
rather than the jpgs I've been producing. My question is this: Does
the raw file saved by viewscan with the .tif extension have *any*
processing done on it at all?
I've seen that there is a recommendation to follow the advanced
workflow (lock exposure/lock film color base) prior scanning to a raw
file, which suggests that there is *some* processing going on, but I'm
not sure.
A secondary question is: If I do scan to a raw file and use the LZW
compressed option, what impact does this have? Can I still use VS to
"scan from file" when processing these images? Can I open this
compressed tif files in Photoshop? (I supposed the question is really
whether photoshop can interpret the LZW compression.)
