 **Options** - Select Display XYZ cLUT + matrix as your algorithm, Default Intent I pick Absolute Colorimetric here as I commonly use that when I convert my images to SRGB but Relative is fine here too. Quality I would set it to High. **Options** - Select Display XYZ cLUT + matrix as your algorithm, Default Intent I pick Absolute Colorimetric here as I commonly use that when I convert my images to SRGB but Relative is fine here too.

-After you've set your options like that click the Create Profile button. You'll see a black box pop up and it will process a bunch of stuff. Once it's finished if everything went okay you should get a Save dialog box. Make sure you save your profile to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color as that's where Windows looks for IT8 profile. Once that is finished you're done and you now have an IT8 profile you can attach to your scans in your image editing program of choice. Congrats!

-===== Mac & Linux ===== 
- 
-Our recommended Mac & Linux solution is a software called ArgyII which you can download [[https://www.argyllcms.com/downloadmac.html|here]] for Mac and [[https://www.argyllcms.com/downloadlinux.html|here]] for Linux. You'll also need to download and unzip the ZIP file tied to the Charge Number in the lower right corner of your IT8 card if you ordered it from our recommended vendor . Scroll to the bottom of that page and look for your charge number and download and extract the ZIP file. You'll need the .txt file with the same Charge Number from this for calibration. Now open up a command prompt and browse to your ArgyII directory. 
- 
-Run the following commands - 
- 
-scanin (your-it8-scan).tif it8.cht (charge-file-number).txt 
- 
-That should output a .ti3 file that you'll need to use in the next step that should be named the same as your TIF file. Run the following command now - 
- 
-colprof -D"Type in a description for your profile here such as the Bit-depth and Scanning software" -qh -aX -Z a (it8profilefilename) 
- 
-If all goes well that should output an ICM file in your Argy folder and you now have your IT8 profile! 
- 
-If you have a Mac you probably need to place it in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ for it to show up in your image editor of choice. 
- 
-For Linux it's usually placed in 
- 
-/usr/share/color/icc 
-/usr/local/share/color/icc 
-/home/USER_NAME/.color/icc
