You should know if the image-editing or page-layout application you use to edit or
process scanned images is ColorSync-savvy or not. This is because the settings in the
Color Matching Setup dialog box will vary, depending on the image-editing
application you are using.
Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later is a good example of a ColorSync-savvy application. If
you are using Photoshop 5.0, we recommend that you update to version 5.0.2, or you
may upgrade to version 5.5; do not use version 5.0. In the Color Matching Setup
dialog box of ScanWizard Pro, you will need to do the following:
• Check the Display using monitor compensation check box. If you are using
Adobe Photoshop 5.0.2 or later, make sure that you also check the Display using
monitor compensation check box in Photoshop's File | Color Settings... | RGB
dialog box. This will ensure that the scanned images displayed in Photoshop
match the preview images shown in the Preview window of ScanWizard Pro.
• Check the RGB Color Matching check box. Take note that if this box is not
checked, your RGB images will not go through the color matching process, and
you may obtain inaccurate color as a result. (more, over)
• Check the Embed ICC destination profile in scan image check box. This feature
will enable ScanWizard Pro to embed the ICC profile of the currently selected
color space in the image data. The information will then be properly interpreted
by Photoshop or any ColorSync-savvy application.
• Select Scanner RGB as your RGB destination profile. This is the best choice as
your RGB destination profile because there is one less color space conversion in
the process of color matching (which means the original color data is preserved
better). This is especially important for users who demand the minimal loss of
data during color-space conversion. B. Using non-ColorSync-savvy applications
