Bear with me. I don't own an IT8 target. I borrowed one a while back. I
scanned it using Epson Scan's "No Color Correction" option turning off all
adjustments. It's a tiff file about 16M. When I looked at the scan on my
calibrated monitor it looked exactly like the IT8 card.
I want to profile my scanner using VueScan.
In VueScan I select Task: "Profile Scanner".
Source: I select "File" and point it at the target file I scanned earlier.
I hit Preview and the IT8 appears. (VueScan's color correction is set to
"None")
Great so far to so good.
I continue with the VueScan "Profile Scanner" workflow....
The correct Scanner.IT8 description file for the IT8 target is in the
VueScan directory as it should be.
The problem is when I go to the Color Tab in VueScan and change "Scanner
Color Space" from "Built In" to "ICC Profile". (without doing this the
program won't create the "Scanner.icc" file.) As soon as I change Scanner
Color Space to ICC the image in the VueScan Preview window changes color
slightly...like the color space has changed to something less vivid. When I
try to switch the Scanner Color Space back to "Built-in" the IT8 image in
VueScan's preview window does not change back to its original hue.
Can someone give me the run down on their workflow for profiling a scanner
with VueScan.
