Yes you can... but here is my guess about it...hehehe isn't that scientific?

WIth a digital camera you have an rgb value for each pixel or "grain". On
the other hand, with a color file of a scanned negative or chrome (which also
has an rgb value for each pixel) the scan pixels in turn represent the "dots"
of monochrome dyes or whatever in the film base that in combination are
rendering a color tone. This doesn't seem to allow as much trickery in the
channel mixer—at least, not as smoothly.

You might scan at a LOW resolution and get an image with pixels more like the
digital camera pixels, which would minipulate better.
