Hi all!
A *very* basic question from a new Epson 10000XL/LaserSoft Ai user:
I want to get as accurate a scan as I can, but when I look at the scan
on my monitor (Apple Cinema display) it doesn't seem as close to the
original as I expected. Don't know if that has to do with my settings,
scanned target, or simply monitor calibration.
I am looking simply to scan color photos, which later could be used
within a few different software packages - Aperture, Photoshop, etc. by
myself or perhaps others. I have SilverFast Ai (not HDR or IT8).
Any thoughts on this would be a huge help before I delve into scanning
hundreds of pics- thanks!
Here's my setup (warning - NEWBIE ALERT!):
To obtain raw files that are accurate all I did during setup was
select:
Scan Type: 48 Bit HDR Color
Q-factor: 1.0
And under options selected (all of these selections based on advice
based on the SilverFast Quicktime tutorial, not the
computer-darkroom.com site):
Color Management
Input -> Internal: ColorSync
Internal -> Monitor: ColorSync
Internal -> Output: RGB
Profiles for ColorSync:
Input: 10000 refl.icc
*** This 10000 refl.cc file is a profile that I made by scanning in my
MonacoEZcolor reflective target using MonacoEZcolor and the Epson, and
then saving the file. Not sure if that was the way to go...***
Internal: Adobe 1998.icc
Gray: Generic Gray Profile.icc
Output/Printer: <NONE>
Rendering Intent: perceptual
Embedded ICC profiles
Embed ICC profile [X] (checked)
Profile to embed: 1000refl.icc
I realize most of these selections are NOT as suggested by
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/hdr_tutorial/hdr_1.htm
but rather were suggested within the Silverfast Ai Quicktime
tutorials...
Was this correct? Or should I have not embedded the ICC profile.
And should I only be using the Silverfast IT8 calibration?
Thank you SO much!!
