Hi,
I'm desperatly trying to untersand how all these things are working together
!
1/If I want to obtain the most accurate pictures, I have to calibrate my
scanner (LS-2000).
Here's what I did (in VueScan on Linux) :
- SCAN TASK : PROFILE SCANNER
- put my Wolf Faust target on the scanner, and copy the related file as
"scanner.it8"
- PREVIEW
- adjust the IT8 outline so that the selecting grid can cover the whole
chart (a landscape oriented picture), except columns 20 to 22, if I want to
have the B&W rectangles too.
- PROFILE SCANNER
After having analyzed and processed some stuff, my image became all red !
And every time I'm using this "ICC PROFILE", my pictures become redish ! If
I switch back to "BUILT-IN", it's "more normal" looking.
What's wrong ?
I'm sure this can be solved quite easily, so let's go to Q2 if I mean !
May I use the same ICC files on both WIN and LINUX ?
2/As I have a huge collection of slides to scan, I think the most efficient
workflow is to scan raw files and process them when I have some time (rainy
days, ...).
Nothing else to do than selecting "OUTPUT RAW FILE" and batch-scan ? I'm
thinking using "SAVE WIH SCAN" to get ICE too.
3/When my RAW images are ready, shall I open them in VS "SCAN FROM FILE" as
"LS-2000".
- How can I use the profile I've created at this moment ? "SCANNER ICC
PROFILE" ?
4/And now, what do I get ? Reliable scans from my slides, as great or as
crappy as the original ones ? Or should I modify other settings ?
I don't intend to "save" an underexposed picture at this step !
5/Whats's the next step to get usable pictues on Photoshop 7, including this
profile ? I've read several posts here about some darkness, but I'm not sure
to unterstand everything !
As my monitor is not calibrated at all, and is becoming old, I think any
"eye looking" processing will be wrong. Right ? So I just would likje to
have "as is" picture, even if they aren't that apealing on my screen.
I just want to store the most accurate pictures somewhere, in order to be
ready to process and have final results when all my systems are ready and up
to date. For now, I can only act on the scanner.
Thanks for any kind of help, and apologizes from a lost newbie !
