Hello,
I have my Microtek Artixscan 4000T calibrated using the Kodak IT8
slide and my chromes look ok; The problem is when I have to scan very
old slides, dated back in the 1940' and 1950; the have major color
deterioration; by apply the current ICC profile I will get very bad
color balanced images; this is because the dyes and colors of the
current target from Kodak, Agfa, etc, are very different from the
images dated back in the 1940 .......
How shall I than calibrated and match my color for those kind of old
images, considering the fact that I do not want really to provide
accurate color restoration, BUT scan and maintain the color hue and
color value of those old images close to as they are today???
TIA; Andrea
