HP Scanner makes everything yellow
Hi
Here are some pictures: http://hot.ee/sonnich/scan1a.jpg http://hot.ee/sonnich/scan1b.jpg A is the original picture, 50% in order to make it fit here. As you can see only a part of it is in the right colours. A part of the original scan is the B - with "waves" in it, I have seen that before and know simply to resize. But you can see the colour difference better. What causes the yellowness and how can I fix it? It is a HP Scanjet 2400. WBR Sonnich |

If you repeat the scan does what looks like a good band happen in the same place each time? If the good band stays fixed, what happens when you move the original on the flatbed (don't worry if some parts are no longer scanned): does the good band stay fixed on the flatbed or the original?

It is a HP Scanjet 2400. WBR Sonnich An image for comparison to the sample. http://antikvarhorsnaes.dk/antikvari..._Nordpolen.jpg I don't know why, but the scanned image reminds me vaguely of the example in this article. Like I'm looking at a CMYK representation rather than RGB. I'm no "color guy", it just looks weird to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK When scanning non-solid color objects (halftones or "dots of ink"), you get a moire pattern unless there is "descreening" turned on. The "waves" are from interference between the sampling frequency of the scanner and the dots in the printed cover. http://www.scanhelp.com/288int/artco...escreentab.jpg There is probably a problem with the image sensor on the scanner, but I'd play around with reducing the resolution setting of the scanner, and turning on descreening. For close work, sometimes I'd actually use a magnifying glass, to get a better idea of the screen print frequency, so I could set the control panel for the scanner a bit better. (To reduce Moire, maximally.) Also, while the scanner is making the scan, monitor the white light leaking around the edges of the scanning bed - check to see if the intensity of the like varies as the scan is progressing. Perhaps the light source is not constant. As another check, try scanning a 3"x5" or larger print from your collection of film prints, as those won't have the same kind of halftone issues. That should at least get rid of some of the "wave" effect. Paul |
