thanks Graeme Gill. You are right. I use 300dpi to scan a picture. I think it will be more accurate.but scanin has some difficult to aotu recoganize the chart. This time I use -dipn to make the charts be properly recognised . but when I am at the colprof step I also get the Profile check complete, peak err = 84.302879, avg err = 23.234012, RMS = 26.345680. Also I have something wrong that I can't realize.
