Historgrams & Watercolor

Hi,
Sorry for a newbie-question...
I am an Illustrator, I use a Microtek i900 an Silverfast and try to get my watercolor into the computer as natural as possibble..

First Question:
Where do I save the "Histogram" and "Gradations-Korrektur" Settings?

Second Question:
Has anybody suggestions for best settings for watercolor? Especially the Yelloish parts get much to green, an if I use any preset, the picture just gets verey colorfull and looses als small color-nuances...

Thank You so much!

Hi,

On the "Rahmen" tab you'll find "Einstellungen" + "Speichern". When you click two times on "Speichern" (no doubleclick), then you could save the current colorsettings (Histogram, gradiation ....).
The "Bild Typ" presets all start the automatic, which stretch also the contrast, what you don't want in this case.
Best would be to calibrate your scanner with IT-8 (to get the true colors). This could solve the most.
Either you could save your prefered settings with "Einstellungen" "Speichern".

kind regards,

Thank You so much

Thanks a lot!!!

I always tried to get on "save" but somehow never found out the two-times-click think... :D
I already use IT 8 Calibration-
Some Colleagues told me now, that most artist still prefer to have their watercolors photographed, as scanning still isn't good enough... but that's not easy to afford... well, I have photoshop to fix it.

Thank You again!
