Frontier.
Within our own loop, we can scan with or without a
scanner profile
attached
to an image and open it in PS6, apply the Adobe
RGB(1998) workspace,
profile
with our Frontier output profile and achieve
acceptable results on the
first
print. However, with these Digi-camera files, which
have no profile
attached, the same methods do not yield the usual and
expected results.
I
know that some of these cameras emulate versions of
sRGB and Adobe
RGB(1998), but, these anomalies are occurring against
what would seem
like
normal workflow practices. Has anyone else experienced
this, and if so,
could you lend some direction as to tightening this
new loop with
Digi-cameras?<<
Some early versions of the Frontier Image Controller
software made use of metadata in digital camera JPEG
files to "optimize" the file for printing. This was
done behind the scenes and there is no public
documentation on how it works. Fuji abandoned this in
later software because it increased processing times,
and was not supported in any uniform way by the camera
manufacturers. You may wish to save an original camera
file as a BMP, then print both files. If they are
different, then your version is using the metadata.
