This is something I have wondered about before but have never had it 
explained. Doesn't a scanner just produce a raw file that is modified 
by exposure adjustments in the software? So how do you get more dynamic 
range than is in the raw file and why not just adjust it in Photoshop 
or whatever you are using?
