Color Matching Setup using ICC Profile-Aware applications

When using an ICC Profile-Aware application (Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later is a

good example), you need to perform the following in the Color Matching Setup

dialog box of ScanWizard Pro TX

1. Check the Display using monitor compensation check box.

2. If you are running ScanWizard Pro TX under Native Mode, check the Native

Mode RGB Color Matching check box. This check box is permanently checked

and dimmed when ScanWizard Pro TX is operating under LCH Mode.

NOTE

: If this box is not checked, your RGB images will not go through the color

matching process, and you may obtain inaccurate color as a result.

3. Check the Embed ICC destination profile in scan image check box. This feature will

enable ScanWizard Pro TX to embed the ICC profile of the currently selected

color space in the image data. The information will then be properly interpreted

by Photoshop or any ICC profile-aware application.

4. Select Scanner RGB as your RGB destination profile. This is the best choice as

your RGB destination profile because there is one less color space conversion in

the process of color matching (which means the original color data is preserved

better). This is especially important for users who demand minimal loss of data

during color-space conversion.

5. If you are using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later, make sure that you also check the

Display using monitor compensation check box in Photoshop. From the Photoshop

menu bar, click File > Color Settings > RGB Setup. When the RGB Setup dialog box

displays, check the RGB Color Matching check box (at the bottom of the dialog).
