I save them in 24bit colour, that's how they showed up. I like my film photos as-is without any adjustment, so if there's any colour tint there I'll just leave let them show. A better scanner would be nice but I'll just have to deal with what I have for now

icic... i usually scanned in b/w 48 bits.

B/w got 48bits? I thought 8 or 16 bits only...

Actually, the highest bit depth per channel is currently only up to 32bit/channel, but only up to 16 bit is widely supported and most film scanners only have a 12-16bit A/D converter. 48bit is often touted because a colour image is composed of 3 channels, red green and blue. 16bit x 3 = 48bit. B/W only contains only 1 channel, the grey channel so it is usually only up to 16bit. If you scan B/W film in colour, you will get a 48bit colour image with is mostly duotone. As for the colour cast seen in the B/W colour scans, it is currently unknown how the cast forms, but I suspect its the way the silver and the film base reflects light (I suspect the film base is not perfectly colourless)
