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 refer to the ICC website.
SIPC uses an open source ICC compatible colour management system - Argyll. The Argyll binary is included in the SIPC distribution package and will be automatically installed.
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.
