3.0 Settings Window

In ScanWizard Pro, you must do the followings in the

Settings Window:

Ø Select the proper image type and resolution; consult your

profiler documentation. Select 48-Bit RGB Colors if possible,

which contains most color information.

Ø Click the Reset button to reset all settings.

Ø Select Full Range in the D-Range popup menu.

Please note that the default of D-Range popup menu is

Automatic, which must not be used to create profiles nor to scan

and apply profile.

3.1 Scanning with Scanner RGB

We recommend you profile scanner with Scanner RGB

data because this is how Microtek Scanner Profiler (MSP) profile

scanners. You may also select and use the profiles with

ScanWizard Pro as those created by MSP.

These settings should be always used if you’re using these

profiles. In the Color Matching Setup dialog box, the key settings

are:

Ø RGB Color Matching: On

Enable this option.

Ø Embed ICC Destination Profile In Scan Image: On

This item will not effect your operation as long as it is not a

problem for your profiler.

Ø RGB Destination: Your Desired Color Profile

Select Scanner RGB.

3.2 Scanning Raw Image Data

If you want to, you may also scan “raw” data from

ScanWizard Pro to the profiler. This is suggested by most 3

party

profilers, which is not quite applicable to ScanWizard Pro. As we

recommended earlier, you should scan with Scanner RGB to

profile.

The difference is that Microtek Scanner Profiler (MSP)

does not profile the scanner with raw data. Therefore, you should

not use your 3

party profiles in ScanWizard Pro. Otherwise,

image will not appear right.

However, it is OK to use your 3

party profiles with other

applications as long as the images are also scanned as raw data

and then apply with your profile.
