1.2 IT8.7/1 - 1993 (R2003) - Graphic technology - Color transmission target for input scanner calibration.

I dont know where they live but the colortune software has them stored somewhere, Now I will try and locate the actual target files hiding place. It allows you to align the color patches but asked you to link the target file via the folder option.

But I guess you have to clearly define each patch and color tune's way is to use the interface to do so. Well they are in a drop down menu in color tune. I was looking for the actual target files.

Now I have a proper color calibrated ICC profile for Vuescan for slide film.Р”Р„ 200 page PDF buried in a folder explained how to do this. Next you will input the device information, Camera, scanner, monitor, printer ect. Then a box pops up with all the color swatches and a box that you check for color abnormalities, checking it and seeing none, I moved on. I selected the 4x5 one with my sticker number and clicked read, and It worked. The drop down revealed 2 choices a 4x5 transparency with the same sticker number as my 4x5 target and the same for the 5x7 reflective target.

There is then a drop down box called Color reference. Next you align the 22x12 selection markers so they are on top of each of the color swatches. Next you open a dialog box called Input Profile menu and locate the tiff scan of the IT8 target (scan it and save it first). This is what you do, you run colortune after you scanned your target at 150 dpi (recommended size) for the 4x5 transparent target. Ok Well I feel pretty stupid at this point. Short version I found the target files, You must run Color Tune and they appear in a drop down menu. Seems just wanting to test my theroy has become such a PITA all for a little file that NO ONE seems to have. I also know each film emultion has or had it's own set of matched targets and supporting color data. He shoots lots of 6x17 slide film and I am local so he gets faster service. Possibly a big account if I can nail this job. I dont plan on shootinug too much chrome, but this job is for a client.

In theroy any way, I know I need specfic targets for each film and thart is exspensive. Most of the rest will be ok so I will only have to play with one or 2 sliders. I know for example if I set up a profile for agfachrome rsx100 and scan velvia 50 there will be a megenta color cast. I was trying to see if being color calibrated would make a huge difference. I did go ahead and do part of the job, I just pushed the saturation in lightroom to match what I was seeing in a loupe on a light table. Well except for scanning slide film (doh). My digital workflow is 100% color managed. The profile data disk is matched to a specific transparency so you will need both, the data file and the matching transparency target.Р”Вoing slide film that is why I am going thru this effort. It's better to have them for transparency scanning but totally unnecessary for B&W or color negative scanning. Not having the profiles doesn't make your scanner useless. So any of you ex or current Agfa scanner or Agfa IT8 target users, can you help me out, Thanks AKf I just want these files to start off with.

I am sure there are many ways to skin a cat. However I have learned a few tricks, I just need some known variables and the Agfa IT8 descriptor files are my ticket. I know I need to get targets for various emulsions I will be scanning, like the Velvia 50 RVP is not the same as the AGFAChrome RSX100 so the colors may have a cast to them. With the price of these targets, I hate to throw them away because I cant find a simple. Agfa is out of the game and there is no link to any thing I can find. I am trying to color profile my scanner using Vuescan, I know how to do it, I just need the descriptor files. I have searched everywhere for the Descriptor files. Like I said They came in a ColorTune software package with a AGFAScan HID that I just bought new in the box.

IT8.7/1) and 5x7 the (reflective AGFACOLR IT8.7/2) there are batch numbers taped to each target like a Serial number, I think it may be the reference number for the individually measured descriptor files. The 2 IT8 targets are standard 4x5 (trans.

In the box came a wonderful box called ColorTune 3.0.2 in that lovely box lives to IT8 targets and a disk. Ok for those that dont know I bought a NIB Agfa Duoscan HID film scanner.
