When I use PhotoShop 6 and can only edit using 24-bit color? (Am I wrong about this?)
Shouldn’t I just scan in 24-bit mode to save time and space?
I just got an Epson 3200 scanner which is capable of 48-bit color mode. If I use Silverfast, I see a scan mode listed as "48->24 bit color". Does this mean the scanner uses 48-bit mode but the software converts to 24-bit for output?
When I use Epson Scan, the 48- and 24-bit modes are listed separatedly. If I use the 48-bit mode, I can see the file in Photoshop but cannot copy and paste, etc.
Thanks for any enlightenment. A few years ago I had some bad experience with scanning, but am giving it another try. Scanners are getting so much better and cheaper these days.
