The IT8 target comes with Silverfast. I think the SF calibration
routine makes it quite unique as scanning software goes. I have no idea
how much good it will do you, since Silverfast takes a scan and
references the color swatch points to values in a table stored in one of
the Silverfast folders.
But you may shoot some Nik*n photons through it if you want.
I did some more scans tonight. I'm finally getting the yellows and
greens that have evaded me.
Let's definitely get together. Call first as work is making me nuts
right now and the house is torn up. 8^0
I could definitely use a short trip somewhere in a Jeep.
