Use Color Matching
(Windows: ColorGear, Macintosh: ColorSync)
This mode automatically corrects characteristic differences in color output between scanners and 
monitors. With this option on, matching the original image colors to the colors on the monitor output is 
much easier. (When FilmGet FS is first installed, this option is off by default.)
However, when this option is on, the color is automatically adjusted during preview and final 
scanning, so histogram and other image adjustments are not available (See p. 71). To scan with 
image adjustments, first set the “Use Color Matching” option to off. This option is only effective when 
the color mode is set to [24-Bit Color]
 or [42-Bit Color]
.
The color matching on/off setting will be displayed in the image adjustment section.
The color matching system for this scanner is ColorGear for the Windows version and ColorSync for the 
Macintosh version.
When the “Use Color Matching” option is on, the monitor gamma value is set automatically.
When the “Use Color Matching” option is off, the monitor gamma is set to the following values.
Windows: 1.8
Macintosh: 1.8
When the color mode is set to grayscale or black and white, all items are grayed out and unavailable.
The setting is reflected to all frames of the film loaded into the holder. You cannot set each frame individually.

[Settings] menu and 
select

Setting the Monitor Gamma Value
You can adjust the brightness to match the particular characteristics of the monitor you are using by 
setting a monitor gamma value. This mode is especially useful for matching the colors that display on 
your monitor to the colors of the original image.
The gamma value for the monitor is set automatically when the “Use Color Matching” option on page 89 is set 
to on.
Please read the documents shipped with your monitor or contact the manufacturer’s customer service 
department to obtain the correct gamma value for your particular model.
You cannot set the monitor gamma value when the “Use Color Matching” option is on. To set the monitor 
gamma value, first set the “Use Color Matching” option to off. See p. 89, “Use Color Matching,” for an 
explanation of switching the Use Color Matching option.
The setting is reflected to all frames of the film loaded into the holder. You cannot set each frame individually.

Setting the Preferences
The preferences control how FilmGet FS behaves when it scans and how it starts up and closes.
Correcting the Gamma Value 
The gamma value aims to match the brightness of the image displayed on the monitor to the 
brightness of the original document (film). Individual monitors reproduce colors in characteristic 
ways that are summarized by their “gamma values.” The gamma values of most monitors fall 
within a range of 1.4 to 2.2, which reproduces colors slightly darker than the original. To faithfully 
reproduce the original colors, it is necessary to compensate for your monitor’s gamma value with 
the FilmGet FS setting. The program generally adjusts the monitor’s gamma value to 1.8 for both 
the Windows and Macintosh version, but if your monitor does not operate at this default value, you 
will need to adjust it.
