There are some controls which control the scanner, and others which are file
manipulation. If a person saves the file in16-bit mode, all of the file
manipulation controls may be done in Photoshop instead. However, the
advantage of the scanner software controls (curves, LCH, etc) is that these
are done prior to any file save operation. Most of the time, I will use the
NikonScan software to get as close to final result as possible (or even as
the final result for some applications) and then save the file as a plain
old 8-bit JPEG.
