Some scanners'/TWAIN drivers do a better job reading dark and light points
automatically than I can do manually. With my cheapo Mustek 1200ED flatbed
any efforts to override the auto settings nearly always produce *worse*
results. I just scan on auto and do everything else in Photo-Paint.
Scanners that can use SilverFast are a different story, since SilverFast
reportedly can eliminate the need for most post-scan processing (other than
creative stuff).

>>>I would also have to disagree with the premise. Setting black and
white points is not always appropriate. It really depends on the
image.<<<
To my knowledge, the scanner needs to know where I want the darkest and
lightest points..can't really explain it well, but an analogy would be the
hilite and shadow comp buttons on the OM4. Something I missed?
