Michael I think a full copy costs a lot less than that.

I had a brief look at the link Brian Price posted (http://www.ddisoftware.com/prism/), might be worth checking it out because their software is not only Windows based but will also let you use your �15,500 scanner. > I'm of the opinion that the likes of Epson, HP etc should be providing colour > management > as standard with their printers in a way that enables users to choose their > own inks and papers. I don't think you are alone in your opinion. However, their generic profiles when used with their recommended media and ink (i.e., their own brand) should produce acceptable thumbnails. Also, some of the paper manufacturers provide good generic profiles for their media and Epson inks (other combos probably available but I haven't looked that deeply). For example, Ilford and Tetenal have generic profiles on their sites for their papers. I can't see how they can provide generic profiles for all media and ink combos, though. Well, not without charging �15,500 for a �250 machine. <g> Shangara Singh. ________________________________________________ :: Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop CS :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips || Photoshop Glossary (eBooks) :: Examaids for Adobe & Macromedia Certification :: http://www.examaids.com || http://www.photoshopace.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
