We have an Agfa XY-15 scanner and it is behaving quite well with
color management and making good scans (except sharpening, which is
better done in PSop). One problem with profiles still exists also
with the newest software version. If you make profiles with other
software than Agfas Colortune (it is working, but it has only basic
functions), they can be recognised as profiles for reflective targets
but not as transparent profiles. I have tried both the ColorSynergy
and Gretag -origin profiles.
I have managed to edit the profile header (copying part of Colortune
header text to new profile in Tex-Edit) to get it recognised in
ColorExact profile list, but it does not function properly. Sometimes
you get simulation error or some other error which depends on profile.
So if someone knows some cure for the problem (also exists on smaller
Agfa models), I would be pleased to here your solution. It is of
course possible to scan raw and apply profile in PSop, but this is
not a way to go for us (rather getting Adobe98 or whatever working
space is needed out of the scanner).
