Dear Andrew,

The assumptions made about SilverFast at the bottom of this email are

correct. Our IT-8 calibration is an input profile and is used in creation

of the image, based on our profile and user input from our interface.

Please remember that the Prescan is just that, but internally we do use the

LAB space because of the extreme latitude it provides us, and yes it does
>
let you do a much better job of Unsharp masking because you don9t have to
>
worry about ruining the saturation levels you created in all your prior
>
steps. So please don9t think we are converting the image several times, we

are bringing the information from scanner to what ever color method you
>
choose while still preserving the image data in its entirety.

Hello everyone,
I'm still in search of scanner software to drive my Howtek D4000. I'm
familiar with Silverfast as I run it on my Polaroid SS4000 and it works
well. I have Trident 3 but I'm having a hard time getting my head wrapped
around it.
Is Silverfast's method of using the input profile - as described above -
desirable or is there a better method.
Many Thanks,
John V.
