Keeping colors true in other applications
When an image is scanned in the Nikon Scan TWAIN source or
acquire plug-in and opened in another application, or when an
image saved using Nikon Scan is opened in another application,
before being displayed on the monitor the image will be pro-
cessed according to the color-space and monitor profiles se-
lected in the application. If the profiles used in the application
do not match those used in Nikon Scan, colors may not be the
same as those in the original image.
• when using the RGB color model: Choose a monitor
profile that matches that chosen in the monitor sheet and a
color-space profile that matches that selected in the RGB
sheet (the Photoshop profiles corresponding to those used
in Nikon Scan are listed on the preceding pages). If no match-
ing RGB profile exists, you can use the Nikon Scan profiles in
the path Program Files\Common Files\Nikon\Profiles (Win-
dows) or System Folder : Preferences : Nikon MAID : Profiles
(Macintosh). The files containing the profiles listed in the
RGB sheet are given below.

* Do not use the Scanner RGB profile when scanning images for use in a
third-party application.
If you are using Nikon Scan as an acquire plug-in for the
Macintosh version of Adobe Photoshop 5 or later (full ver-
sion), the RGB profile will automatically be passed to
Photoshop when the image is scanned. You need only ensure
that the monitor profile matches that used in Photoshop by
selecting the Photoshop monitor profile in the monitor sheet
of the Nikon Scan color management tab.
• when using the CMYK color model: Choose a monitor
profile that matches that chosen in the monitor sheet and a
color-space profile that matches that selected in the CMYK
sheet. If you are using Nikon Scan as an acquire plug-in for
the Macintosh version of Adobe Photoshop 5 or later (full
version), the CMYK profile will automatically be passed to
Photoshop when the image is scanned. You need only ensure
that the monitor profile matches that used in Photoshop by
selecting the Photoshop monitor profile in the monitor sheet
of the Nikon Scan color management tab.
