You can look at the changes history on Ed's website to see what's been added. I don't recall if 7.5.41 included color management functions. Vuescan now recognizes and uses monitor ICC profiles. If your monitor is calibrated and profiled, this means that the image displays are about as accurate as they are in Photoshop. Current Vuescan also provides functions for building scanner ICC profiles and film ICC profiles. You need to obtain an IT8 calibration target to use these features. I am still grappling with the film profiling feature - not sure I understand how to use it effectively. But I did the scanner profiling on my LS4000, and it made a significant improvement in the results I get. Fuji Velvia slides used to require a lot of post-scan tweaking in Photoshop to get the colors right. But when I use a scanner profile (built from an IT8 target on Velvia), the required adjustments are much smaller, and often unnecessary. -- Julian Vrieslander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
