| I have the Canon FS4000 but do not know how to get the detail I am looking for.  I am trying to get digital files of my wife's watercolor paintings.  Some of the backgrounds are very complex with magenta, yellow and a blue wash over the top.  The Canon 24-bit scan results in spotted blues instead of the gradual wash that exists in the actual painting.  I tried 42-bit but it was no better and I had less control in Photoshop to color correct.  Did I get the wrong scanner for my purpose?  Or do I not know how to obtain very accurate color images with the Canon?  Or, am I expecting more out of a film scanner than is currently possible?  Please help. Jim
