1. My new scanner programme is now giving me the options of 24, 48 and 64 bit RGB. Does anyone know what that means? What should I use for scanning things to print them?
2. Anyone have a good idea about what to feed a wheat-intolerant vegan for lunch? Something simple I can either pre-make or whip up quickly while she’s there, since I’ll have to go pick her up before lunch. Hmm. I”ve fed vegans before, but never wheat-intolerant ones.

Bingo, veggies and rice, that’ll be easy. Thanks!

Get a can of white kidney beans and a can of red kidney beans, rinse and drain them in a seive.
Chop some garlic, sizzle it in a saucepan in some olive oil with salt & pepper, toss in the beans and stir well. Add lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, warm for a while until the beans soften a bit. Serve warm, with slices of toasted wheat-free bread and olive oil, perhaps?
Et voila — a kind of bean stew. Dead cheap, yummy, easy, vegan, wheat-free. What’s not to like?
No idea on the scanner Q. Sorry.

Oo, that sounds great! Hmm, wheat-free bread, I’ve never seen it in the supermarket but I think that’s just because I haven’t been looking. If I can’t find that, maybe I could serve the beans with rocket lettuce and roasted butternut squash for a filler. Hmm, butternut squash and sliced red onion roasted with olive oil and garlic… this could work.
Thanks, Ben!
Rice! Rice is great. Never mind fussing with wheat-free bread.
(Or taters are good too.)

1. scan in CMYK no?
2.I know a vegan who is wheat free. I told her I’d never invite her for dinner.
She mostly eats stir fry, rice, rice noodles.
Wheat free pasta is pretty good these days, so a ragu is an option. Hummus, that’s easy to make. Hummus and veggie kebabs. Butternut Squash curry with cocunut milk, that’s nice.

Print? Switch to CMYK, if it lets you scan that way. No idea on the bitrate. Dave?

Risotto. Mushroom risotto. although no parmesan.

RGB is usually 24 bit; each of the red, green and blue channels is it’s own eight-bit greyscale image (try turning off each channel in Photoshop).
So the red channel has 2-to-the-power-of-eight (256) different reds in it.
If you sample at a higher bit-depth, the scanner will be able to discriminate between a greater range of blues, or reds, or greens. So you’ll have 2-to the power-of-sixteen (65536)reds at 32-bit.
This is pretty redundant as most RGB file formats only support 24-bit colour. The advantage of having a higher bit-depth is if you are going to adjust the colours prior to saving: It give you a broader gamut of colour so that any adjustments are not constrained to the 256 levels. Then, once adjustments are done, you can down-sample to 24-bit.
I don’t think scanners can sample in CMYK, as they are sampling reflected light (ie the additive primaries).
(This isn’t helping, is it – it’s just me showing off:)
If your monitor is set to 24-bit, I would scan at 24-bit.
If your monitor is capable of higer bit depths, you may seea greater range of colours if you scan at a higher bit depth.

Whoa, that’s tremendously helpful! Thanks so much, Peter!!!
