Mike,

16 bit color depth means that the scanner is using 16 bits for each color when it digitizes an image. Each pixel would have 2^16 x 2^16 x 2^16 possible color options.

16 bits/color means 2^16 or 65,536 shades of each color (red, blue, green)
8 bits/color mean 2^8 or 256 shades of each color (red, blue, green), or each pixel can be painted with a color from a palette of 1.6 million colors (2^8 x 2^8 x 2^8)

Most of the time all you need is 8 bits per color for a total of 24 bits of color per pixel.

I think it is incredible how well darktable sharpens a blurry scan.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
