For example, the IT8 description (or "charge") that accompanies his 35mm Velvia target is a file named V030303.txt. When I used that slide to make a scanner profile, I renamed a copy of the charge file to scanner.it8 and put it in the same directory as Vuescan. The IT8 description file contains careful measurements of the transmitted light coming through each patch on the target slide when illuminated under controlled conditions. Vuescan reads the data in the IT8 description file, compares them with the results from your scanner's measurements of each patch, and then builds the profile (which is essentially a calibration table). -- 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
