Sorry...I assumed that would all be something that's part of the photographic
side of the equation, not within the realm of color profiling. After all, we
still don't know if Jannes is doing copy work or if this is for general-purpose
photography.

That's why I use a DNG profile that gets as close as possible, then develop to
TIFF, and then head off to Argyll for the rest.
I should probably add: I take a new picture of the chart and create a new
profile with every setup change -- lighting, camera position, lens, whatever. I
consider the profile valid for only that one scene and development workflow.
It's not that big a deal in practice.
Cheers,
