Nonono ... either I was a little asleep. or too optimistic, or both.
It's Ok in the shadows boxes, but blows off at the last bright square.
Next-to-last square is barely distinguishable.
Gamma is set at 2.2, and Adobe Gamma checks it as Ok,
But I have a 'profiled' Adobe RGB 1998 loaded, instead of sRGB.
Then, I suppose this could be the reason why at 48% red and green gamma
lean towards 2.35 - blue is more difficult to asset since it blends
through a wider range of values. So does gray.
I find it hard to believe that you trust more this web link that the
hardware calibration tool.
Is it so, absolutely? I've just bought one ! :-/
Last: yes, I do see what you saw in the small .jpg
Always, until now, considered such a small 'leaking' a result of a poor
monitor (it's quite new, nonetheless).
So, do you set your USM at NikonScan with large radius and small amount?
I did exactly the other way round: radius 10% ~15%, intensity 30%,
threshold as default or 0~1%.
Are those your usual settings, or only when high contrast is present?
What now bothers me most in how difficult it is for the scanner to pick
up details from the shadows.
This sometimes makes me to bend upwards the lowest values in the RGB
curve only, which is very tiresome and time consuming and error prone.
Thanks a lot for your advice.
Fernando.
