Re: filmscanners: Colormatch RGB

["Maris V. Lidaka, Sr." <mlidaka@ameritech.net>]

I am not experiencing this - my reds are undersaturated to about the same
extent as other colors (I use Corel PhotoPaint and not PhotoShop so I can
compare only the first step).  Is the red oversaturated in Vuescan's View
panel as well?

I generally use Bruce RGB, but tried Colormatch out just to see - no change.
I would say, thinking theoretically, that it must be the combination of
Photoshop opening up an image in Colormatch in another color space.  After
all, a colorspace such as Colormatch is merely a limitation on the colors
available for use and has nothing to do with causing saturation but may
allow it within its color space.
