I believe the green has the best contrast, and is the sharpest. Even on the
snippet you sent me, I believe green has far better contrast, and is the
sharpest. Blue was muddy, and red is not near as sharp.

And that gives you a fuzzy conversion...
Which brings me back to my point that a ND filter is probably the best way
to scan B&W ;-)
