On a the only quality assurance program I have ever seen for a scanner,
the low couple of bits where just noise (a =A320,000 12bit grayscale scan=
ner
for X-Ray films using a stablised HeNe laser and a photomultiplier tube).=
I doubt it is any different on a compartitvely cheap UMAX scanner with a
CCD and flurescent lighting, so just chuck the two low bits from each cha=
nnel,
which are probably noise anyway and treat it as a noiseless 24bit scanner=
