Testimonial
"I've done the Kodachrome IT8 calibration thing with SilverFast Ai for my Epson V750, and it really does work. No more nasty blues. Now I just need to pony up the money to also buy the Nikon CoolScan IV version of SilverFast Ai, since that's where I prefer to scan 35mm slides."

Kodachrome film is the professional's choice since 1935 due to higher sharpness, ultrafine grain and natural vivid colors - quite simply the Look & Feel of Kodachrome. It was for many years the standard film for professional color photography, especially when submitting images to major magazines such as National Geographic.

Why is the calibration with a Kodachrome target important?
Accordingly the human eye will see more of the yellow spectrum contained in an Kodachrome image than the scanner's CCD. Consequently scanning a Kodachrome transparency with an ICC-Profile based on a Fuji or Ektachrome IT8-calibration, will produce bluish scans. Only with a dedicated Kodachrome calibration target correct and original "Kodachrome colors" will be achieved.
