Hello,
I've seen a few articles that touch on this subject, but I wanted to
get an answer to a bit of a different twist perhaps.
I have the following equipment that I am using - Canon Canoscan 3000F,
Canon i960 printer, WinXP system and both a Canon EOS Elan II film and
a Canon S80 digital camera.
When I print photos from my digital camera the colour reproduction of
what I see on screen (both the LCD of the camera and my computer's CRT
monitor (Viewsonic 17PS)) is excellent. I would not change a thing to
be honest.
The problem is when I scan prints from my film camera. The colour
balance is shifted dramatically to the red/magenta wihch becomes even
more visible when I print it. The issue at hand is that I really do
not want to calibrate my printer or monitor at all because the combo
for digital photography is working great. I therefore want to find a
way to specifically calibrate what my scanner is inputing. I've tried
manipulating the scanned image after the fact using Corel
Photopaint/Adobe Photoshop but it is very difficult to manipulate it to
be just right (although I am going to try this with an actual scanner
target as it may be easier to do the balancing act).
Any input or advice would be extremely welcome.
Thanks in advance...
