16-bit Greyscale - Which Version

[lhiapgpeonk]

I was just wondering

I want to scan black and white negatives with the best possible depth of information. So I would be looking for 16bit Greyscale or 48bit Color scans.
This Link: https://www.silverfast.com/img/compare/compare_sf8_en.jpg (can be accessed via the question mark next to the versions when you go to buy) says nothing about 16/48 bit, only about 16bit Histogram, which is not necessary for my in Silverfast. This Link however: http://www.silverfast.com/download/docu/silverfast8versioncomparisonchart_en_2015-04-29.pdf shows at the bottom, that 16/48bit images (and RAW-Images) are possible with every version of silverfast.

Will the creation of 16bit/48bit HDRs also be possible with Silverfast SE (No Plus, no AI)? The spec sheets suggest so, but I'm not sure, given some forum entries.

So in Short: Which scan-modes will be possible with Silverfast 8.5 SE?

Dear customer,

All SilverFast versions can create 16/48 Bit HDR(i) RAW images for later processing in SilverFast HDR (Studio).
Direct fully processed 16/48 Bit output is only available in SilverFast Ai Studio and HDR (Studio).

Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.

Will Post-Processing also be possible with Photoshop CC? (It is saved as a linear .dng, isn' it?)
If so, I suppose all is well

You can use Photosho to edit those files.
But make sure the colorspace is not adapted automatically.
The images should be processed using the embedded color space.

Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.
