I have MonacoPROOF and am trying to characterize a minolta dimage scan multi pro
under OSX with both Vuescan and the minolta software. I currently only have a
35mm Kodachrome IT8.7 slide to do this (despite the fact that we will be
scanning more Fuji Velvia/Provia than anything else).
Monaco rejects the scans I have made so far, and those are RAW 16bit scans,
converted to 8bit and not color corrected. Monaco says there is a problem with
the shadow detail, obviously the raw scans are dark and I guess that is part of
the problem.
I have always read that you want to characterize with as little settings as
possible, hence a RAW scan. Is this incorrect? What is the correct procedure?
BTW, I would like to do just RAW 16bit, native res scans and edit in PS as my
workflow.
Thanks.
