Scanning with Nikon CMS Off
If Use Nikon Color Management System is not selected in
the "Color Management" category, profi les can not be used
to ensure that the data from the scanner are reproduced ac-
cu rate ly when passed to another application or displayed in
the mon i tor. Be cause the color profi les required for a cal i -
brat ed RGB color space are not available when Nikon CMS is
off, images can only be scanned as uncalibrated RGB or gray-
scale. Similarly, the absence of a monitor profi le means that
gamma adjustment must be used to correct the image for
dis play on the monitor or for editing in another application.
These ad just ments to gamma are made in the "Gamma"
category of the "Pref er enc es" dialog.

The illustration below shows how scanning proceeds when
Nikon CMS is off. The image shown in the preview window
is ad just ed for display in the monitor ac cord ing to the value
cho sen for preview gamma in the "Gam ma" category. When

changes to curves and color balance are passed to the scan-
ner, where they are ap plied to scan data be fore the image is
trans ferred to the host ap pli ca tion (if Nikon Scan is used as
a "stand-alone" ap pli ca tion, the value for preview gam ma
