First of all RAW does not have any color profile. Setting "Adobe RGB" in your camera apply

profile only to Jpeg images when you are shooting in Jpeg, but RAW is not an image. You can

get sRGB or Adobe RGB image only after converting RAW to Tiff or Jpeg.

What does it mean "change the colour space to SRGB"? You have not to _change_ profile, you

have to "Convert to profile" in CS3. Why do you twice sharpening for sRGB? I think you do not

know what you are doing. Google something about color management in Photoshop.

If you are shooting in RAW, your camera setting (saturation, bw-color, etc.) dont affect to shoots. It does affect only to shoots preview, pictures that you see right after shoot on camera. When you open RAW shoot in Adobe Brigde (Adobe Camera RAW), the convertor generate new preview from RAW file. Adobe Camera RAW does not use any shoot setting than you set in your camera, and preview picture usually differ from camera preview. If you want to get the same picture, you have to use original Nikon converter.

Yes, but two years ago. About half a year ago the scanner had stopped with permanent "error 50", then I opened it and made some clean. I think at the same time I break off the cable.

There was some small connector inside the scanner with two cables (red and white) connected with. Red line was just cutted off. I have fixed it by soldering-iron. :) And viola! ICE is here again.

The problem was a little broken connector in the scanner, now scans look like this (compare

to first post examples):<br><br>

> If you do some Vuescan cleaning tests I'd be really interested in posted examples. I use to try new versions of Vuescan periodically to compare cleaning to ICE. The last time I tested was about a year back. At that time the cleaning was inferior to ICE, both in percent cleaned, and the seamlessness of the results.<br><br></i>

I have done some vuescan 8.4.47 "Infrared clean" tests, options: None, Light, Medium and Heavy. It looks like no any difference between None, Light, Medium or None. I think scanner is out of order.

There are no ICE setting in "DiMAGE Scan Utility", just ON and OFF. And when ICE is ON,

Grain Dissolver is ON too.<br><br>

And same results with other C41 negatives I tested, not only Kodak Supra 400.<br><br>

I'll make some test scans with Vuescan "Infrared clean" (3 options: Light, Medium and

Heavy).

Scanned films look like ICE does not work at all, am I right?<br>

Some problem with my scanner? Can I fix it by myself, or it need to some service repair?<br><br>

Test film is Kodak Supra 400, scanned by last version of DiMAGE Scan Utility installed on Macbook and

Mac OS 10.4.11.<br><br>

Thanks for all!

I'll gonna kill myself... Before that I'll send support request to Pantone.

"Also, I'm not sure what the shots you posted are supposed to prove."

All photos have taken in RAW by Canon 20D with same exposition, and converted with same settings and 6500K in Canon Digital Photo Professional 2.2 to sRGB Jpeg.

Problem is not around this photo, black looks green, gray looks green.

All photos made by Canon 20D with same exposition, and all converted to sRGB Jpeg by Canon Photo Digital Professional 2.2 with 6500K and same other settings (using one Windows PC).

"What do you mean when you said color profile is changing when you just start calibration process?"

I mean, when I just start Calibration software (only start) the colors change to more blue-red (second image to third image).

Hi!

Can not get any good result with Macbook calibrating by Huey.

I have done several calibrations by Huey on PC's (Windows XP) with LCD with perfect results.

Samsung 173p Plus succesfully Calibrated on PC:

Macbook with factory color profile:

Color profile is changing when I just start calibration software, before any calibration steps:

Color become far from ideal after calibraion process:

What is the problem, glossy Macbook LCD or some software bugs (last version from Pantone.com

installed)?
