If its Kodachrome, you're gonna have a real hard time getting it to look
like a projected slide. I've tried just about everything, but the only
people that ever came close was an outfit in Florida that did some type
of tri-color laser scan with all sorts of color matching profiles. They
are no longer in business.

The drivers provided with my scanner tend to not reproduce my slides
very accurately. My initial thought was to set up a projector right
next to the computer and just do a visual comparison, but this leads
to lots of Photoshop time, which I would like to keep to a minimum,
and monitor calibration, which I can't do at the moment. Giving
VueScan a whirl, a straight scan with no adjustments yielded a
significant improvement, but it's still not quite what I want. So I
got a copy of VueScan Pro since it includes ICC profiling and IT8
calibration. I'm wondering if obtaining color calibration targets for
the film I'm using would help? Am I on the right track, or am I doing
this the hard way? Will VueScan support multiple film profiles?
Their documentation only mentions a single film.it8 file, not multiple
files for different film types. I feel like I'm missing something.
Any help would be much appreciated, and is probably worth a beer or
two at GFM. (I'm already running out of beer, and we're not even
there yet. <g>)

a picture of me when I'm older." Where'd you get that camera man?
