Oh yes; sorry I misunderstood. I already do the former (though if you're making
a 'camera' profile or DNG profile, the exposure of the target doesn't affect
the resulting profile too much since, as you mentioned, it's just mapping
colors. Unless of course you've clipped blacks or whites in the target shot).
I'd like to try the latter. Is there any tutorial or technical thread I could
read to understand this process better?
Thanks,
Rishi
