What’s the consensus on working on black and white scanned film in photoshop? Is it easier to control print output (read: color management) using RGB files or grayscale? Thx. What colorspace would work best? Thx X 2.

Personally, I find RGB much easier to work in because of toning, and it’s also easier to control print as well. I use the same workspace for everything, AdobeRGB because it’s the closest RGB match to CMYK.
