Hi Joe, > A camera is just like a different piece of equipment, a > colorimeter. The colorimeter has broader filters. Why is a color film scanner not a "colorimeter" as well (though I have never heard of one being called a "colorimeter", but I have never heard of a camera being called a "colorimeter" either)? The definition of a colorimeter (apparently in modern terms) is that it uses "tri-stimulus values" (three imaging primaries), and a color scanner fits that bill equally as well as a camera (I assume you mean digital camera? Either way, film or digital, it seems to fit). Regards, Austin
