Maybe you are running on a PC and using sRGB as your color space. If so, a color managed display is less important. I run on a Mac with a gamma 1.8 monitor, and I prefer to use Adobe RGB as my color space. With VueScan set to Adobe RGB, images appear very different than how they appear in Photoshop: the VueScan version is very flat and desaturated. I've figured out a workflow that gives me a somewhat more useful display in VueScan. I set color space to Apple RGB and gamma 1.8 for my first look at the scan. I set crop, exposure, white point, black point, brightness, and filter options, using Prev Mem and Scan Mem to check results in Apple RGB. Then I change to Adobe RGB and gamma 2.2 (keeping other settings the same), and I do a Scan Mem to write the final output file. This two-space two-step takes extra time, and it still does not give a really good match with what I see in Photoshop. But it's the best I can do with the current version of VueScan. -- Julian Vrieslander <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
