Whoa, the Government of Canada has an incredibly detailed page on the dark art of scanning photographs with a flatbed scanner. It is full of practical & theoretical info, incl. color theory (color space, models, gamuts, accuracy, distance, illuminance, bit depth, dynamic range, etc.), common scanning issues… and you can even the #Coloraid (Wolf Faust) "IT 8.7/2" color calibration target referenced, plus #GIMP screenshots 🤯
