[filmscanners] Using Vuescan and a Faust IT-8 target.

["Ellis Vener" <ellis@ellisvener.com>]

I am trying to profile a film scanner (a Nikon LS-2000) using a Faust
IT-8  target. I  am slightly confused by the following instructions:


1) Set "Input|Scan task" to "Profile scanner"

   2) Rename IT8 description file "scanner.it8"

  Actually I understand the first line , but it is the second step that
confuses me. where  do I name the the IT-8 description file? This seems
to imply  one of two options/

A.) that I scan the file the target first (as a RAW file?) and then
open it back up in  Vuescan and proceed through steps 3 to 7.

Or...

B.) Go to Output and name  the TIFF file there.

  secondly I can download a set of numbers for this particular target
set. I understand  that I should somehow plug them in, but how?

  The manual simply isn't clear and your help will be much appreciated
so thank you  in  advance.

Cheers!
