> Hello everyone,
> 
> Help!! This is probably a question that would be of interest to anyone 
> starting scanning, posting and printing.
> It also serves as a criticism of the manufacturers of  scanners and 
> printers, they all seem to assume that we are already experts
> when we buy their products. The "Just load the software, plug it in, and 
> then of course you know what you are doing, or you wouldn't
> have bought it" mentality of Handbook authors.
> 
> The more I read about it the more confused I get.
> What should  the colour management parameters for the following  
> conglomeration of equipment be ?
> 1) Monitor (at present TFT, a CRT is on the shopping list)
> 2) Nikon V ED 35mm scanner
> 3) Canon 9900F Flatbed
> 4) HP Photosmart Printer
> 
> My intention is , rather obviously, to get prints, and images for the 
> web, with identical colours, contrast and brightness as the slides I'm 
> scanning.
> 
> There are so many options for each piece of equipment and the 
> corresponding software that it's so easy to get totally lost.
> Are Nikon or Canon profiles compatible/identical  with Adobe PS Elements 
> 2.0 or Arcsoft Photostudio 5 ? is  sRGB some kind of  general setting  
> that 
> serves all other RGB profiles ?
> Am I confusing  Color Spaces and Color Profiles ?
> 
> TIA for your help
