1.2.3 Embed ICC Destination Profile In Scan Image
Enable this function to embed the RGB Destination or the
CMYK Destination ICC profile (depends on the image type) in
image data. If native mode RGB color matching function is not
enabled, RGB destination profile will not be embedded.
It is highly suggested to enable this check box so that color
profile information can be embedded and delivered to the target
application unless your target application can not take the profile
information. Otherwise, images may be compensated incorrectly.
1.2.4 RGB Destination
This feature lets you select the correct profile for
outputting images to the RGB color space. The RGB Destination
profile usually pertains to a monitor (since all monitors are RGB
devices), but an RGB printer profile may also be used as a
selection if the RGB color space in which you choose to work is an
RGB printer.
To specify the RGB Destination profile: choose from the
profiles provided in the list, or choose your own profile if you have
others stored in your system.
ScanWizard Pro enumerates all the ICC profiles found in
the ColorSync Profiles folder and displays the found RGB profiles.
If you have ICC RGB profiles that are installed somewhere else,
click at the button at the right to browse and select your desired
profile.
Please pay special attention to the Scanner RGB menu item
in the popup menu. With this selection, ScanWizard Pro returns
RGB image data scanned with “linear” condition, which is the
same condition that MSP uses to profile scanner. In other words,
scanner RGB means image data uses the scanner profile as its
destination profile, instead of profiles such as monitor or printer.
There is a great advantage of this because it is one less
color space conversion in the color matching process. The net
results are the original scanner RGB data is preserved better. This
is especially important for those who demand the minimal loss of
data during color space conversion.
Also, if you want to apply MSP profile in other application,
you must select Scanner RGB as your RGB destination color space.
This setting has no relationship with any settings in
ColorSync control panel.
1.2.5 CMYK Destination
This feature lets you specify the correct profile for
outputting images to the CMYK color space.
