<p>That for all your responses! I've neglected this thread for the past 2 days, but have been catching up on all the posts this morning. Not sure if I fully understand what everyone has said though...</p>
<p>I remember someone asking what the <strong>purpose</strong> of these scans are. These are old family photos, and I am scanning those for the purpose of preserving them in digital format (to archive them, view them later, prevent further degradation, etc)</p>
<p>One of the reasons I wanted to do these scans in an unprocessed way is because I've always regretted the destructive edits I have to photos I took on digital camera. I am a novice at best in Photoshop and making adjustments to white balance, curves, saturation, etc</p>
<p>So I want to avoid making these edits in the scanning software when I scan. What I want to know is whether I am missing out on anything that cannot be done later in Photoshop or Lightroom?</p>
<p>If it's just a matter of "processing" them now or processing them "later", I'd rather leave it to later. </p>
<p>Thanks again for all your responses!</p>
