Scanning black and white photos in color is one of the tricks recommended by photo restorers and retouchers. You now have three B&W channels with different information that may help you in creating your final B&W image. This is especially true if your original B&W images have stains or other colored problems you want to get rid of.
That is quite interesting and makes sense to me. I never considered this option before. Thank you.
I wonder what stacked images will produce or bracketed shots with varying layers separately processed and combined......it really makes one take a second look at the possibilities.......?

I use an Epson 4490, to scan photos, I always use color for B&W. Older B&W photos generally have time shifted and are no longer B&W. The color scan gives you all that aging, and character. The 4490, has warm-up so you never get a cold scan. I have a Canon all in-one for every day documents, I save the Epson for photos. I would post an example but I don't know how to do that in a reply.
