[Darkroom] scanography

[Kelly]

Right, I recall this. That's why Ben's scanner camera is BW.

So I guess it's making RGB images and combining them, with little
aberations. The artifacts are turquoise and red, which are thematic colors
for this artist already (i.e.

blacks and red highlights, so it's really an appropriate medium for her.

Well, I'm curious to try it out. I wonder if you can hack the RGB cycling
mechanism to make false color...?
