In the end, there are so many variables that it’s a wonder your prints look anything like the film you scanned in. Equipment can vary as can factors such as film and paper. Unfortunately, theory and real life don’t quite work the same. In an ideal world it would also appear on the screen and printer as the same colour. This colour would appear as a bright pure red to the scanner.
By combining the three channels in varying proportions we can create many different colours.įor example, an RGB value of 255, 0, 0 is maximum red (255), no green (0) and no blue (0). These three colour channels represent the colours in the image. When a scanner captures colour information in an image it does so using three colour channels, red, green and blue. If you don’t already have VueScan you can download a demo version from the Hamrick website.īefore we start, it’s helpful to understand a little bit about colour management and why it is necessary.
Whilst this alone makes it good value for money, it also includes some very useful colour management features. Not only does it produce excellent quality scans, it will also work with old scanners where drivers for the latest operating systems might no longer available. It’s something a specialist will charge you a lot of money for, but with a little knowledge and a few tools you can easily do this yourself.Īs you may already be aware, I rate the VueScan scanner software very highly. This will improve the accuracy of your colour film scanning. In this tutorial I will explain how you can use VueScan to calibrate your scanner and produce a bespoke film ICC profile.
