Title: Creating Scanner Profile with Prism and Vue Scan Post by: RMikula on November 05, 2011, 10:25:33 PM I'm using Vuescan to do the scanning and am creating RAW files for the scan of the target hence the settings in the COLOR tab of vuescan shouldn't matter. I have created printer profiles but am now trying to create a profile for my HP 4850 scanner and am having an issue in Prism.
When you bring the RAW file for the target into Prism, it asks a YES/NO question as to whether you are creating a printer profile. It instructs you to answer NO, if you are creating a camera or scanner profile. So, I answer NO. The RAW file/image of the target is very dark in the viewer and gives poor results. If I answer YES (for printer profile) the same file comes into the viewer with a much brighter and easier to work with image and also give excellent results as far as X outs, illumination, etc. What's happening and how should questions be answered to produce a scanner profile? Screen shot of the bad results attached.

To profile the scanner, you have to answer "No" to that question and as long as your crop marks are aligned properly, you should get a good profile regardless of the messages. Give it a try and see how it works for you.

The scanner is a Canon 8400F Terry |
