I have bought this softwarre to create ICC profiles for my D30.

Results are allways very bad and
"Mr programmer" (Mike Chaney) refuse to answer my questions (on his Yahoo's forum !!!)

It is a very bad experience for me !!!!!

I have "Profile Prism" and get very good results creating profiles for the different papers I use with my Epson 1270 printer. Trying to create a profile for the D30 was a different story. I don't know of any *good* profiles that were created for the D30. If you have PhotoShop I suggest you check out Pekka's LinearSharpen which is a PhotoShop action file that converts linear tiff to non linear and in the process corrects color which negates the *need* for a D30 profile. :D

You can read about LS at :

If you have PhotoShop v7 I also suggest you check out Roger Cavanagh's LinearSharpen Menu. You can read about it at:

Dale,

Thanks for the plug. :) Just wanted to clarify that PS7 is not a requirement for LSM. There's just one option (and not a central feature, at that) that uses PS7 scripting.

You can find free profile software for digicams and scanners at www.aim-dtp.net. This is a program embedded in Microsoft Excel that works with a Kodak Q-60 calibration target. Called XlProfiler. It works, limited only by the consistency and lighting with which you shoot the target. For me, since I don't have studio lighting, it worked better for my scanners (flatbed and 35mm) than camera.
