Scanner

[Didier Quatrer]

Hello,

I try to generate a scanner icc profile. Using first argyllcms and then displaycal
I found how to on this page

I do have a printed it8 (agfa) and its reference file.
Using
scanin -v Bureau/it8.tif /usr/share/argyllcms/ref/it8.cht Bureau/C60672XX
does generate an it8.ti3 file.

I get an error with dispalcal 3.5.2, archlinux,
I’m using the menu
Fichier -> créer un profil à partir des données de mesure

I select my ti3 file, and it complains there is no “courbe d’étalonnage”, do you want to continue ? -> yes
-> Fakeread : Error – COLOR_REP ‘XYZ_RGB’ invalid (Neither XYZ nor LAB)

What am I doing wrong ?

I made my scanner icc with argyllcms :
colprof -v -A”Canon+” -M”Lide35+” -D”13-4-2018″ -qu -as Bureau/canon-0002

canon-0002.ti3 being my new ti3 file

DisplayCAL is a display profiler, it is not usable for making scanner profiles.

Florian, thank you for your answer.

I lost some hours with that page found on the internet.

My scanner icc is really good , I did it 4 or 5 times before understanding how to get best results (600 dpi, and a larger cropping area : not just the colored squares …)
