Of  course, it  could just  as easily  be that  *I* used  spotread
incorrectly.

Have you tried  profiling a scanner yet? I've  gotten good results
with two scanners so far, my Epson  and my mom's Canon -- but I've
hardly done any critical evaluation, just some quick eyeballing.

But  I rather  suspect that  the fact  that GretagMacbeth  doesn't
include a reference  file and instead has you  create one yourself
means that *they* aren't confident in the color consistency of the
target.

For what it's  worth, I did use FWA compensation. For  the rest, I
hardly did  anything special: I  just used that  plastic centering
doohickey, plopped the  Eye-One down on top, and  hit the key. The
worst part  was finding an actual  Q60 file to use  as a template,
and then re-numbering the output from spotread to fit.

Cheers,
