Hi Eve,
Most of us care about color accuracy but we may define it differently.
Color bars used at the point of capture are a false sense of security
because they react differently to light than pigments. Color bars used in
late stages for process control are a different story and can have value.
Ah. the bygone days of the 4x5 transparency. For those publishers who
lament the passing of transparencies I can only say this: be happy they are
gone. We have been fooling ourselves for a long time but did not realize it
until really good direct digital capture came to the fore. It tur

Regarding the second part of her email; If your budget allows you to use a
good commercial printer who has printed art publications before, you will
have exceptional results from an entirely digital workflow. True, we rarely

Imperfect as a color bar or grayscale may be, I would put in an ardent
plea for their inclusion in all digital scans, whether of old rescanned
transparencies or new scans of artworks. I speak on behalf of the
publishers and printers who have been left with no visual cues to guide
color correction o

Dear Colleagues,
We are about to digitize a collection of photo albums containing
1910s/20s photographs; while they are black and white, many have
discolored and turned sepia over the years. Since these are fragile,

I read these fast, so I might have missed it, but no one is mentioning CMYK
printing. That is what all this is about.

We use standard color targets in all full color scans from reflective
originals (see attached) either using a flatbed scanner or digital
photography. We use targets with color, gray scale and size
indicators to provide viewers of the image with visible and
measurable information with which to j
ensure it is done
for years to come.
Regards,
Genevieve
