Written in the Manual:
If you are scanning to RGB in order to retouch the image on your own
computer, remember that when you set up the scan, you must also choose the
RGB Profile that corresponds to your monitor from the list in the Color
Definitions section of ColorQuartet's Scan Setup window.
As I know this should be the RGB Output Profile set up in the RGB section at
the Scan Setup Window, and not a corresponding Monitor Profile.
Anyway the program should be able to use the Monitor profile, setup in the
Colorsync folder for a correct Feedback on the Monitor.
Written in the Manual:
The RGB Profile affects the output scan as well as the RGB values in
ColorQuartet's densitometer. It does not affect the image in the feedback
window or the LCH values in the densitometer.
Why, why, why??? I want to have a visual control of the correction settings
I'm doing, corresponding to the profile I selected!
Written in the Manual:
It is possible to use the Output Profiles in other programs.
Obviously it is not possible to use the CQ it8 calibration file as an
icc-source input scanner profile in other applications. The calibration file
that CQ produces, seems not to be a correct ICC file.
When using an it8 calibration from another source (ColorBlind) - must the
raw scan for the external calibration software be done before an internal
calibration with CQ was performed or after a internal calibration took
place?
Also very confusing is the check box "Use default Tonereponse Curve" in the
CQ scan window under ICC. When this check box has to be "on" and when "off"?
The reason why I want to try a external calibration is:
The calibration of the Scanner is done internal.
*Scanning with the SvRGBG18-Output Profile and loading the image into PS -
attaching my RGB Working Space (ColorSolution RGB) - the scan is much to
red.
*Scanning with my RGB Working Space (setup as RGB Output Profile), after
loading in PS the scan looks better, but still to red.
*The scanner is calibrated internal and the RGB Profile is set to
SvRGBG18-Output Profile. Than I make a scan of a it8 target and generate a
profile with CB Professional.
When I do now scans and open this in Photoshop, attaching my CB -Scanner
profil and convert to the Working Space (Color Solution RGB) the colors look
much better, but overall to dark, especially in the shadows.
In all cases the pictures look visual different in the Scansoftware versus
the view in Photoshop.
Another thing that does not work since I work with the ScanMate 11000 and
ColorQuartet is, that it's not possible to do a 16bit grayscale scan with a
correct preview. When in the preview window "grayscale" and "negative" are
activated and you perform a 16bit grayscale scan, you will get an error or a
missed up scan.
The only possibility now is, that in the Preview window the settings are
"color" and "transparent". In this case it is not possible to make scan
settings that you can see, because (of course) you only see a negative
picture.
