Note: I suggest that you do the RAW scan with the same scanning application that you intend to use for your future scans. Scan at the i1 Scanner suggested resolution and image format (300ppi uncompressed 16 or 24 bit TIFF for the 4x5 target) and save the scanned image of the target where you easily can find it -) Make sure to turn off all adjustments and color management to be sure that the image get scanned 'RAW'. Now it time to scan the target and I chose to use Epson scan for this. One of them is for reflective scanning and the other (which I have chosen) is a 4x5 positive film target. In the i1 package you will find two it8 targets for scanner profiling. It also give you a better starting point for further editing and a short-cut to a good end result. This is a short tutorial of how to use the application Xrite i1 Scanner to make a color profile for the Epson Perfection V850 pro.Ī good scanner color profile is a smart way to get a scan that is more true to the colors of original.
