Green and Yellow

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 04:54pm on 15/06/2007
I lack scan-fu. I thought I'd be really productive today, and scan in the covers of Foundation journal for the web site, but when I scan in the green ones they appear the same colour as the yellow ones :-(

I don't know if this is something I can fix in the scanning stage, or if I'd have to Photoshop it later. Bah.

Is the cover process colour and therefore does it need descreening when you scan?

Descreening is set on already, thanks. The yellow (autumn) and blue (summer) issues scan fine, I'll whomp through them first. I can either clean the green (spring) issues up in Photoshop, or try to learn how to set a colour curve in the scan.

You can probably fix it in your scanning software (look for the hidden 'professional' settings, which as far as I can tell mean not so much settings for a professional as settings for anyone with an IQ above that of fuzzy felt). If you can't fix it in your scanning software, you are about to discover why Photoshop colour correction is such a black art. Personally, I'd try again with a different scanner.

It's extremely likely that what is currently happening is that your scanner is 'correcting' a non-existent colour cast on one of the covers.
