Hi Richard,
Thank you for taking the time to reply my query. I was toying with the idea
of using the scanner as a "dumb scanner" and do evertying in Photoshop. I
may come to that approach. I was glad I could diagnose the business with the
wrong monitor profile, in my case. But, which emusion, if I may ask did you
favour? Does it make a difference for you? You say you scan in bulk.
Best / Roger
