We scan images by default into the Adobe 1998 RGB colour space as this is industry standard (as defined by the AIPP and ACMP digital guidelines).

If you use another colour space, we're happy to directly scan into your preferred colour space. Just let us know when you make your order.

We can also provide images in the scanner's native colour space if you prefer - although we do not generally recommend this.  If you know exactly what you are doing and are comfortable with editing and/or converting images in device dependent colour spaces, then you'll be fine and you can use the Imacon 3F Photoshop plugin to edit your scans - but it will take real practice and skill to reproduce the results we can easily produce for you here, and we do not offer advice on how to do this!
