>Help! I've just been told that there is no way to accurately calibrate
>PC-based monitors with their scanners due to the fact that Windows lacks
>a bit of software (known as 'colorsync') that Macs, of course, come
>equipped with.

>It seems that this would keep me from being able to scan photos and
>images to a standard color calibration that would give reliable results
>when sending the digitized file to be printed.

> So, if this is the case, any hi-res backup scans I make will be fairly
>useless for any professional printing purpose if there is no way to
>calibrate this system. This is very bad, as one of my job's main goals
>is to scan all of the images in our archive as high-quality backup files
>in case of loss or damage.

>Has anyone else out there wrestled with this problem? I'd appreciate any
>advice...
