The Monitor Sheet
The Monitor sheet is where you can select the profile that will
be used when images are displayed on your monitor, either in
the scan window preview area or a Nikon Scan image window.
Monitor profiles contain information about the color and gamma
characteristics of your monitor, allowing images to be adjusted
for more accurate color reproduction.
• Use factory default monitor profile (default)
Nikon Scan is supplied with default monitor profiles for use
when no other profile is available. The default for the Win-
dows version of Nikon Scan is an sRGB profile, that for the
Macintosh version a profile designed for Apple 17˝ monitors
with D
