Re: filmscanners: Superia, CM et al
Read the Advanced Workflow Suggestions section of the help file and lock in a test exposure. It worked for me on Superia 800.. Working in sRGB is fine, but you might look into profiling your monitor with Colorvision's Spyder with Photocal, and into printer profiles using either software such as Colorvision's ProfilerPRO, Monaco's EZ-Color, or WiziWYG. For the basics of Color Management, try these out: http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/13605.html http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/13036.html http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/2440.html http://www.computer-darkroom.co.uk/ (see especially the Essay Configuring Photoshop 6 Colour Management) http://www.digitaldog.net/ http://www.colorremedies.com/ http://members.ozemail.com.au/~binaryfx/PSTV_links.html Hope this helps Maris Lidaka Maris - Original Message - From: Ken Durling [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 12:12 AM Subject: filmscanners: Superia, CM et al | Hi folks - | | I have two questions.

General consensus is to use Reala 100 (Japan), I believe. That choice gives me the most accurate colour with Superia. Which leads me to my next question - what is the next step in getting into CM? I would forget about CM until you have achieved a satisfactory workflow through to your printed output, with colour that you think is pretty good. Then maybe CM can gild the lily? Colin - Well, with the exception of a few films, I think I *am* fairly satisfied with my workflow, which is why I think I'm ready to get a little more precise. I'm just getting small variations between my monitor and printer - small but significant, like in skintones. I realize I'm probably opening a can of worms, though, and we all know that the only way to get them back in the can is to use a bigger can!

Re: filmscanners: Re: filmscanners: Superia, CM et al
Folks - Your suggestions are helping. Generic and Neutral color balance are getting me closer to at least the right hues, although the saturation is still way off. Tweaking the brightness levels of the reds and blues in the scan are helping too. I think it's to the point where I can probably photoshop it, although I've never had anything be this far off since I got the scanner! Wow. So thanks. Ken
