More patches are mainly a good selling point. But than, they hardly help either and actually might harm if the profiling software was not designed for it. As several scientific publications do show, the fault pretty much bottoms out with >170 patches. So with the usual 288 patches of the IT 8.7/2 target there is little to no gain in adding more patches. As someone else here just suggested, certain automatics or color adjustments inside the scanner driver can cause these problems. Try getting the raw unprocessed scanner data (only with a gamma correction if you can). If possible, check the "integration" or "exposure" time of the scanner. And make sure the problem is not caused by the output profile used with TIFFICC... What output profile did you use and how did you verify exactly that the color was wrong? I mean, are you sure it is not the output profile/device/viewing conditions causing the problem? > I am currently investigating the editing facilities in MonacoProfiler to see if > I can correct the profile. Anything else I can try? Lcms is usualy really very good. But for other suggestions see http://www.tkupfer.de/imaging/Scan_Profiling.html for a good comparison of various profilers. > I suggest you try one of Wolf Faust's targets before you lay out the big > bucks for HCT. Thanks ;-) But I think this time the problem is not with the Kodak target. He should rather use the money and get drunk.
