You mean to get color accuracy for the transfer onto the final
transparency that gets sent to theaters (kind of like the reverse of

latitude... I thought it was interneg all the way until the final
print, which I'd assume is on transparency (transferred by a film
recorder).

I don't recall all the details, but it was something like creating
a lookup to map from density to CIE/spectral values for converting
to/from something like Cineon format, which is based on density.
It may have been positive or negative film or both.
