My thoughts are that profiling in negative scanning workflows is
doing little more than providing a rough guide for the
interpretative edits which are always required.
A scanner cannot get RGB values from negative that have any
dependable relationship with the colorimetry of the original scene.
That's the whole point of using negative -- massive exposure range
recorded using minimal density range.
And given that the scanned values don't correspond to the
colorimetry of the final print either, I can't see profiling
playing anything other than a very minor part in the image
processing.
Was the above from your previous e-mail?
