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.
