How Nikon CMS Works
When image data are passed from an input device, such as a
scanner, to an output device, such as a monitor or printer, color
management ensures that the image displayed on the output
device “looks the same” as the original.
To accomplish this task,
the color management system must have information about the
color characteristics of both the input and output devices, as
well as the color space used for editing.
The files containing this
information are called “ICC profiles.”
Nikon Scan uses the fol-
lowing three types of profile:
•
Input Profiles
Input profiles provide information on the input device, i.e.,
your Nikon scanner.
Fixed profiles detailing the color char-
acteristics of supported Nikon scanners are provided with
Nikon Scan.
An input profile is selected automatically based
on the model of scanner used and the type of media (posi-
tive or negative) being scanned.
•
Color-Space Profiles
Separate profiles are available for the RGB and CMYK color
models.
Nikon Scan comes with a selection of profiles for
the RGB color model, while CMYK profiles for color print-
ers are usually provided by the manufacturer.
Color-space
profiles are used when editing images in the scan window
and when making the final scan.
•
Monitor Profiles
Monitor profiles are usually provided by the manufacturer,
although profiles for some common monitor types may be
included with your operating system.
Monitor profiles apply
when images are displayed on a monitor, for example when
an image is displayed in the preview area or an image win-
dow.
Creating a monitor profile
If desired, you can create a monitor profile suited to your oper-
ating environment in Adobe Photoshop and use it in Nikon Scan.
For information on creating monitor profiles, see the documen-
tation provided with Adobe Photoshop.
This option is not avail-
able in Adobe Photoshop LE.
