I've added a Polaroid SprintScan 4000 to my desktop (w/o trying to
level it 8). And installed both Polaroid's PolaColor Insight Pro
(4.5) software and LaserSoft Imaging's Silverfast 5 software. Both
were bundled. Silverfast 5 includes an IT-8 calibration module, which
includes profiling. A C-ROES IT-8 target slide is also bundled. And
you can download from <silverfast.com> an Ian Lyons tutorial on how
to use Silverfast to calibrate your SS4000 and use its profile.
I'd appreciate any advice about whether to calibrate and profile my
SS4000. And, if so, whether to do it via Silverfast or some other
software such as <ProfileCity.com>'s ICC Scan, which plays nicely
with a variety of IT-8 targets, including Kodak's, which I have.
In case it matters, I'll be scanning mostly old Kodachrome,
Ektachrome, and Fujicrome slides for personal archives and for
printing.
Thanks.
Sam
