I'm using Plustek OpticPro A320 scanner and I downloaded Silverfast 6.6 demo (it's the only version the scanner supports).
I'm trying to make a scan with ICC profile embedded, so that it is visible in the Details tab in file properties. This doesn't work. In Options > CMS > Embedd ICC profiles I have "Embedd ICC profile" checked and a profile is set (Adobe RGB 1998 in my case). However, every scan comes out without a colour profile embedded and there's nothing in Colour profile field in file properties...

Does the demo support embedding, am I doing something wrong, or is this function disabled in the demo?

I set Input > Internal to ICM, Internal > Monitor to ICM, Internal > Output to RGB
Then, in Input I chose any kind of scanner (I don't care know, I just need the profile in my file) and Internal is set to Adobe RGB 1998...

Dear customer,

Have you maybe selected one of the 48/16 bit HDR formats or a black and white output like 16->8 bit, 16 bit or 16->1 bit?

Kind regards,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, it seems that the files produced by SilveFast in demo mode do have profiles embedded. For some reason they're not described in a file's properties, but when I open the file in Photoshop it tells me there's a profile embedded... I guess that means the functionality I need to have is indeed there, luckily.

I haven't selected those, I selected the "usual" 48->24 Bit Colour scan type.

However, I can say that I was mistaken that the profiles weren't being embedded - while there seems to be no information in a file's properties regarding ICC profiles, when I actually open a scanned image file in Photoshop it does warn me about a profile embedded in the file, which means Silverfast does indeed embed profiles when I check the option.


Now that I know the profiles embedding is working, I have some more questions about Silverfast software - can I ask further questions here or should I open a new one?

Dear customer,

Good to hear that.

Yes sure you can ask further questions.

Kind regards,
Arne Ketelhohn.
