I understand you begin by scanning without telling us anymore details ; to add
my own grain of salt, I'd advise to scan b&w pictures in color mode, then use
the in-software b&w converter. Rationale being that I have a scanner which
scan only in the red channel while in b&w mode ; maybe yours don't, but it
can be frustrating to see a dark image from an otherwise correct print.
Scanning in color then turning to b&w made this problem vanish (to the
expense of your RAM - better have a lot of it anyway).
The added benefit is split-adjustment of every rgb layer before collapsing the
picture into b&w. This has the same effect as putting a colored filter on the
lens, but you can choose your exact filter as an afterthought "in lab", very
convenient.
The more I use scanners, the neater I find them ; they have an incredible
"view", sometimes getting details out of a photopaper print you couldn't
possibly imagine to have - invisible to the naked eye (and I have a very very
good eyesight, far above what's considered "normal good").
