I tried to run scanin like this:
scanin -v Fuji_E900.TIF ColorChecker.cht ColorChecker.cie -p -dipn
but there is no output. The only thing that happens is that the Terminal
displays something that looks like the manpage of scanin.
This usage instruction is the subtle hint that you provided unsuitable
arguments to scanin.
What is wrong?
Mainly the order of the arguments. All flags and options have to come
before the file name arguments as the usage instruction suggests:
"scanin [options] input.tif recogin.cht valin.cie [diag.tif]"
Therefore the command
"scanin -v -p Fuji_E900.TIF ColorChecker.cht ColorChecker.cie"
should work (output file: "Fuji_E900.ti3") and
"scanin -v -p -dipn Fuji_E900.TIF ColorChecker.cht ColorChecker.cie
diagnose.tif"
should output a diagnostic tif file "diagnose.tif" in addition to the
device+cie value file "Fuji_E900.ti3".
