Title: Custom profiles in Nikon Scan
Post by: NigelC on August 12, 2010, 12:11:00 pm
If you open up preferences in Nikon Scan 4, there is an option to choose a custom profile - is this where you have made a separate profile for the monitor, e.g with a device like Color Munki, or are you supposed to put your monitor profile in here? I'm not sure how to deal with his and I don't have a detailed manual for the software

Not sure what you mean by detailed, but the manual has always been available for download at Nikon.

Here is a google link

http://library.wlu.ca/digitalstudio/pdf/NikonScan_manual.pdf

page 84. i assume you are asking about monitor tab ?

then yes, you can navigate to the profile after selecting custom and tell the Nikon CMS to use it for display.

speaking of Nikon scan....

Sadly the 5000 seems to be gone but I still see the 9000 listed as current. However, only one or two stores have any in stock and they are charging like a 50% premium over MSRP. A few stores list it as discontinued but other places, including some big ones, list it merely as out of stock, back ordered, etc. I read that someone ordered one and they did receive a new copy a month ago (after a six month wait).

So is the 9000, at least, still in production, even if at a very low and sporadic rate???

EDIT: ok, well B&H got them in yesterday for a few hours before selling out again in a few hours, so it is still in production, but very sporadically and at very low rates
