>In Photoshop I use Photoshop's own CM engine. Then when using Photoshop as the destination for your scanned files you should not be using any other engine and should have them turned off (this includes the scanner driver/software color management engine and the operating system's color management engine). Thus all color management of those images would be done by Photoshop and nowhere else. Other colormanagement aware applications should recognize and use the embedded profiles in the Photoshop exported or outputted files; those applications which are not color management aware will not recognize said embedded profiles and will display the file in whatever there native color space is which may very well be different and appear so. Similarly, under this senario, the scanner driver/program preview of the scan will not be necessarily the same as that displayed in Photoshop since the colormanagement will come after the scan has been done and exported to Photoshop, UNLESS you specifiy the scanner's color profile in Photoshop as Photoshop's working space (or you choose to do a soft proof using the scanner profile as your soft proofing profile, which in my oipinion is silly since the scanner product is not the final version that one would want to proof.
>I was told I will have to Assign Profile with the scanner's calibrated >profile to the image brought into the Photoshop to do the thing. I am unclear as to what you mean by "to do the thing." What thing? I would say in general that with respect to the scanner, all you really should be concerned with is that it is calibrated which it does typically automatically using an internal calibration strip in most cases and not with the color space that it uses for its files if you are exporting it to another program for color management. Calibration and color management are two spearate and different although related activities; the former does not utilize profiles while the latter does; the former is geared to standardizing the scanner output so as to produce consistency between scans while the later is aimed at defineing color spaces so as to produce a common language which will enable those spaces to be translated from one device to another device with as much fedelity as possible. If the devices are inconsistent or uncalibrated, it will render any color management impossible; but if they are calibrated, it does not necessarily mean that they will be color manageable. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alex Zabrovsky Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 6:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] RE: Scanner profile In Photoshop I use Photoshop's own CM engine.

First, it depends on which color management engine you are using - the os's engine or Photoshop's engine. Second if you use the Photoshop engine, you can select the scanner's custom profile as the Photoshop workingspace which will cause Photoshop to operate on the same working space as the scanner's profile defines. This should result in the scanner output and the photoshop version being the same unless you fiddle with some other contols related to the scanner output in the scanner's driver or application. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alex Zabrovsky > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 9:41 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [filmscanners] Scanner profile > > > Once I'll have scanner profile generated, how can I tell the > NikonScan to > use it instead of his own CMS ? > > > Regards, > Alex Z > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > -------------------------- > Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with > 'unsubscribe filmscanners' > or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the > message title or body > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
