Abstract: A method for automatically applying color transforms to scanned input images from a digital color image scanner, wherein the input images may be on a variety of different imaging media is disclosed and comprised of: scanning a front side of an input image forming an image scan, scanning a back side of the input image forming a back scan, analyzing the image scan or the back scan to determine the imaging medium for the scanned input image, selecting a color transform associated with the determined imaging medium and applying the color transform to the image scan to produce a corrected image scan.
