Calibrating your scanner is important to capture accurate colors.
How do I calibrate my scanner?
Kat
We should explain what a colour chart/calibration target is.
If you want your scanner to represent the color accurately in scans, you
should calibrate it.
-
Make sure your scanner is connected to your computer with a cable or
over the network.
-
Scan your calibration target and save it as an uncompressed TIFF
file.
-
Open the Activities overview and
start typing Settings.
-
Click on Settings.
-
Click Color in the sidebar to open the panel.
-
Select your scanner.
-
Press Calibrate… to commence the
calibration.
Scanner devices are incredibly stable over time and temperature, so do
not usually need to be recalibrated.
