[filmscanners] Re: Channel alignment test for B&W scanned asRGB

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

My first Visioneer 300 dpi scanner had the red so out of alignment I had
to bump the red channel/layer in Photoshop several pixels to get it
aligned.  I don't know what was wrong with that machine, but it was
replaced a month later with a 600 dpi model, and that one was replaced
within weeks with a UMAX scsi model.  I still have all of them, just got
too lazy back then to return them.
