I came across a problem scanning slides with the Minolta 5400
(original), and would appreciate comments from other users.
The slides are scanned with the Minolta Scan Utility. In the preference,
16-bit linear is selected, and Color Match disabled. No color
corrections are made during scanning. The image in the scan window looks
quite close to the slide, and there are no channel clippings. I believe
that this produces a raw scan.
When the scan is opened in PS CS, it is assigned to the Minolta
Posi-Linear profile and converted to the AdobeRGB98 working space. The
crt monitor is calibrated. The displayed scan looks very different from
the one in the scanner, with a noticeable color shift. PS' histograms
also look different from the scanner's. When rgb info is sampled at the
some location in PS, it is also different from the same sample in the
scanner. The bottom line is that it takes quite a bit of PS correction
to match the slide.
Questions:
- Should the histograms and sample info be different, and why?
- Can this be fixed with a custom scanner profile?
- Can this be fixed any other way?
Thanks.
