I have the Pro version and cannot find instruction on how to turn off Color
Management. How do I do it?
And how do I find the manual on VueScan Pro. For $80.00, it has the
skimpiest manual I have ever seen.
Thanks.

If you really want NO color management then output raw scans (Output
tab with standard or advanced options checked). If you select 8-bit
output then a gamma of 2.2 will be applied. If 16-bit is selected,
gamma will be 1.

Hi Jeff, I generated a RAW file but would color management be applied when I
use VueScan to convert from this RAW file, say to JPG? Thanks.
 
I am still not sure what you mean by color management. What
specifically is your end goal and why?

But to answer your question literally, VueScan can not directly
convert and save the RAW file that it saves as tif to jpg. If you
want the RAW file saved as jpg (which will loose data because of
compression) then you can open the RAW tif file in any number of image
viewers and save as a jpg (example IrfanView).

VueScan creates an internal RAW image whether you save it or not and
then applies the filter and color settings you set in the Filter and
Color tabs. You can minimize VueScan's color management by setting
color balance to "None", and output color space to "Device" (this
means that there is no color space such as sRGB applied to the image)
and saving this file as a jpg.

I think you want to set the scanner color space to "Built In", the
output color space to "Device Color Space" and unclick "TIFF profile"
and "JPEG profile". However, I just needed to do the same thing, and
not understanding VueScan, I switched to another program.

I have lots of questions about this, which I don't understand.

Good luck.
