Recently the ANSI committee IT8 has developed the basic idea of the color target. Though various color targets are now disseminated by film manufacturers, they are not standardized, differing in the size, arrangement, and component colors, thus resulting in the lack of compatibility. However, the present color target has been designed so that every scanner would separate any films properly. As the color target is produced by using the same film as the color film to be processed by scanners, the problem caused by metamerism would be avoided. By exploiting the color target, color separation tasks will be fully automated, completely free from trial and errors based on long years experience, for any color scanners, for any color films, and for any combinations of the both.
