[filmscanners] CMS and color space on Nikon 4000ED

["Ed Verkaik" <verkaik@sympatico.ca>]

Hello all,

I could really use some help deciding on the preferred way of working
with this scanner.

I do most of my adjustments in Nikonscan on PC, with CMS on and output
to "Nikon Adobe 1998".  I use no custom profiles and am not worried
about color management, generally... scans look good and noone has
complained.

After checking around, I see most people turn CMS off.  Why?- is it a
quality issue?  If there are advantages to doing this, I would need to
select "Scanner RGB" to allow me to use the Nikonscan tools. Who uses
this space, and are there any issues with doing so?

When the TIFFs come into PS7, I do a few more adjustments and work in
the Adobe 1998 RGB space.  If these files are destined for agencies or
clients, is there any problem leaving the profile as "Nikon Adobe
1998"?  If I decide to use "Scanner RGB" instead, then what do you
recommend for the Assign- and Convert to- profile options?

Since I will soon be converting my 16bit files to 8bit, I wondered which
of the above choices in PS provide a better archive?

Thanks.
