Dear #photographers & visual #artists running #Linux, what are your tricks for #colour -accurate #scanning photo prints on consumer-grade gear (not a film/drum scanner)?

I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).

Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.

Sample scans, without retouching, from:

- A consumer-grade Brother MFP-5840
- An enterprise-grade HP MFP M477dw
- A consumer-grade HP Envy 5055

Surprisingly, the presumably crappy HP Envy scanner seems to yield results that are more neutral (less saturated, less contrasted) and much closer to reality. The histograms vary wildly from one scan to another. We cannot trust our eyes, but if you're reading this, you probably already know this.


@raghukamath My question: when exporting the Color tab only shows #RGB profiles, is that correct? Output Intent on Pre-Press tab is the correct #CMYK profile but running pdfimages -list in cli show „icc“ is #color unless I export as PDFX1a then it says „cmyk“. Is X1a the only way to export CMYK or should I be able to select CMYK profiles in Color tab?
