ArtixScan 4500t Installation and Operation Manual 25

English

B. 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-60E1 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 colorimetric 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 Profiling: This button starts the calibration process by displaying the calibration

window and guides you through the process to create a customized scanner ICC

profile.

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

8. Help: This button displays the Help window.
