Hello.

I have a Canon CanoScan LiDE 600F that can scan @ 4800x9600dpi, but when I try and scan a magazine cover the colours are not what I hold in my hand. This is important as I use need the closest HEX match in PS to the cover I hold in my hand.

Will someone else try and scan a magazine cover with their scanner and let me know if they get a matching result?

If possible, Esquire Feb. 2007, or ID Feb. 2007 would be ideal as I have those two sitting next to me. Otherwise any magazine that has some bright or solid colour in the title on the front.

Cheers,
