Hans, Getting the correct colors depends on proper calibration of the input device (your scanner), the viewing and editing device (your computer monitor), and your printer. I use Monaco Optix to calibrate my monitor, and I do this frequently as the light settings in the room change with the time of day. This is very important for your editing work. For my scanner I used Monaco EZ color to create a profile for it with all scanner software corrections and profiles off. For my printer, I've used Monaco EZ color to create a profile for each type paper I use. I use a workflow for Photoshop that can be downloaded from here: http://www.monacosys.com/workflows.html With this workflow, all profile management is done from within Photoshop. I get very good results. Also, of note, I recently traded in my old Canon 676U scanner for an Epson 3170 because I could not turn off the Canon scanner's automatic profile/corrections when I scanned. Best of luck, JD * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
