I am primary scanning for a print on Epson printer.
Would you please check my settings and work flow?
=>>My monitor is "calibrated" through Adobe
Color Management Wizard
- Phosphors: Trinitron (I am using older
monitor)
- Gamma: 1.8
- Hardware White Point
6500
- Adjusted White Point: Same as
Hardware
=>>Photoshop RGB
Setup
- BruceRGB (Gamma-2.20,
6500K,...)
- Monitor compensation is turned ON.
=>>SilverFast
- Scan Type: 48 Bit HDR
- Options/General: Color Model
-> RGB
- Options/General: Gamma Gradation -> 1.8, "for
HDR output" is unchecked
- Options/CMS: Scanner -> Internal: Calibration
(the scanner was calibrated with IT8)
- Options/CMS: Internal -> Monitor:
Automatic
- Options/CMS: Internal-> Output:
RGB
- Options/CMS: Internal: BruceRGB
- Options/CMS: Embed ICC profile is
checked.
=> My workflow is simple scanning to HDR format
and opening in Photoshop for further processing
1) Should I do processing using SilverFast HDR
instead of Photoshop? If yes why?
2) Should I use Wide Gamut RGB working space
(16b/channel) instead of BruceRGB, process the image, and put on
CDROM?
When Adobe comes up with a better working space
this would allow me to go back to my CDROM and convert it to the new color
space. Am I right here? Does it make sense to archive in Wide Gamut RGB and
8b/channel?
4) Should I use Wide Gamut RGB working space
instead of BruceRGB, process the image, convert it to Bruce RGB for print?
Do I need to convert it from 16 to 8 bit/channel mode and when?
5) When opening HDR image with Photoshop, I believe
I should not allow Photoshop to do conversion. Am I correct? If
correct I do not need to embed ICC profile in
SilverFast.
6) If I choose Options/CMS: Scanner -> Internal: ICM, is it going to use data
from the calibration process? When do I select it instead of
Calibration?
7) I am also not sure about Options/CMS:
Internal -> Monitor: Automatic. When should I use ICM instead of
Automatic?
I looked at the documentation but many things are
not B&W, many are gray to me so I need your help.
Thanks!
