Hi Johnny,

Yes, just like you do with the Tonal Palette when you are using a scanner instead of a densitometer.

After reading the documents for CCII, I was uncertain about how to treat the data from a scanned 31 step tables. Should I adjust the black/white points on the scanned image as on the Tonal Palate? I realize that the scanner will produce relative and not absolute values and setting the black/white points expands the data to fit within the available tonal range.
