Description:
SIPC is an ICC colour profiler for digital scanners. ICC colour profiles are currently the best way of ensuring that you are preserving original colours in the digital image. If you want to know more about colour profiles have a look at ICC website. SIPC uses open source ICC compatible colour management system - Argyll.
SIPC is a freeware application to create colour ICC profiles for scanners using popular IT 8.7 (ISO 12641) targets. Kodak, Agfa and others manufacture IT8 targets. Inexpensive IT8 targets for reflective and transparency work can be purchased from http://www.targets.coloraid.de. Every target comes with its own reference text file, used by software to calculate the profile.
Word of caution:
SIPC is work in progress and NOT extensively tested. Hopefully, it will change soon but at the moment I advise you to test it thoroughly yourself before using it for any critical work. I won't be responsible for any problems resulting from using this program. After saying that I would like to emphasize that Argyll has a very solid reputation and seems to work well.
