Sorry to take up space with what is to most, a fairly trivial question, but I'm pretty clueless about scanning, with the little that I do know coming from the archives here.
I have a pile of 8x10 (and some 5x7) negs, all black-and-white, that I want to scan with a flatbed (have read various comparisons, have splurged for drum scans before, etc.).
It sounds in some accounts like the advantages of the "Pro" version of the 4990 (~$140 more than non-Pro) are primarily in areas of color calibration; it includes Monaco and a different version of SilverFast.
If I'm never going to scan color, is it worth the extra $140 for me, or will the version with the cheaper software do what I need?
Thanks for any help.
