And Joseph Yates replied:
Seems there were precursors to even Profile Factory - I used to use a
program 5  or more years ago called, I believe ScanMatch, that had you
scan a target, then it created a profile of your scanner (can't remember
if they even called it a profile). You then made a scan and opened a
filter (it was a plug-in for Photoshop) that then converted the scan
into a (supposedly) calibrated state. I should search through the dusty
archives and see if I can find this program.


Ahhh, but in 1993 (through to this day) I was using Light Source's Ofoto
which creates scanner and printer ColorSync profiles using the Apple Color
One scanner. I don't even need to get dusty to find this software since it
is the only thing that will drive my Apple Color One scanner that I still
use weekly. I know I should probably replace this old scanner, but I don't
eat the right kind of cereal to get a free one in the box with a 14" scan
bed. :-)
