Using the SilverFast scanning plug-in for Photoshop, I performed an IT8
calibration of my Nikon LS4000. A scanned image opens directly into PS.
When there is a profile mismatch, a dialogue window appears, asking whether
to keep the embedded profile, convert to the working space, or discard the
embedded profile (no color mgt.). So far, this is normal.
However, the embedded profile that is listed for the scan in the dialogue
window is "Epson Stylus Photo Standard." Shouldn't it be the IT8 profile I
generated, or Nikon something-something?
I have the IT8 profile I generated selected in ColorSync profiles for
devices for the "Input" setting. Is that correct? or should I be using
Adobe RGB (1999) there?
Another question is whether, as a general policy, I should retain the
embedded profile when opening the file in Photoshop, or convert to the
working space (Adobe RGB 1998)?
Thanks,
