This section describes the features and commands of the Microtek Scanner ICC Profiler program. All features are covered in the Main window and Calibration window.

A. The Main Window

The Main window provides various features and a system menu, allowing you to control the calibration process.

Controls:

1.Scanner Model: This option lets you select the scanner to be calibrated.

2.Media: This option lets you select the media type for calibration. If a particular media is not supported, that media will not appear on the list.

3.Target type: This option lets you select the Target Description File (TDF) that matches your Q-60E3 calibration target being used for calibration.

Note: The Target Description File (TDF) contains colorimetric measurements of the target. Each target lot contains unique colorimetric data, and the Scanner ICC Profiler evaluates the scanned RGB data of the target and then matches it to the colori- metric data inside the TDF to create an ICC color profile — a characterization of how your scanner “sees” color.

4.Tonal Mapping: This option lets you select the way in which the tonal reproduction curve of the profile is controlled.

•Normal: Slightly brightens the highlights but also darkens the shadows.

•Lighten: Brightens the highlights and also lightens the image overall.

•Darken: Darkens the shadows without changing the highlights.

•Reduce Contrast: Captures as much of the original as possible. Recommended for CMYK color separation.

5.Darken Shadow: This option lets you compensate for artifacts introduced by the scanner that indicate problems with the shadow portion of the image. You should enable this option if you wish to:

•Minimize detail in the shadow areas of the image;

•Make the shadow areas of an image darker; or

•Reduce the appearance of noise in the shadow areas.

6.Start Calibration: This button starts the calibration process by displaying the calibration window and guides you through the process to create a custom- ized scanner ICC profile.

7.Close: This button lets you close and exit the Scanner ICC Profiler.

8.Help: This button displays the Help window.
