Re: [Digital BW] Re: Saphir 2/photoshop help?

2001-08-22 by Brian Mikiten

I've had two responses thus far and I'll share my concerns if anyone can help. The hardware is an Ultra2 Saphir running Linocolor/Newcolor software hooked to a G4/500 with photoshop 6.0, GF2.0 and a piezo 1160 with cone inks. My concern has to do with the scanner settings and workspace definitions as well as the white and black point defaults in the scanner software. I get reasonable scans now and the PS histograms aren't bad but after reading the Cone piezo instructions, I wonder if my scanner is just not set for the proper dynamic range when it scans.

  Brian,

  I don't know if I can help or not but first I wanted to see if you have the same 
  software. I have the Saphir Ultra running Lino Elite - whatever the latest 
  version is. If you have Elite, I can help, if not, I'll leave it to someone else.

  However, it may be that your eventual questions are not so hardware/software 
  specific. If it's a question on workflow as it relates to bw scans, it _is_ 
  appropriate for the list, so no need to discuss off-list.

  Anyone willing to chat off list?
