RE: filmscanners: Sprintscan 120 and new negative proile scheme



Austin,
I think we may be talking by each other a bit. ICC profiles do contain
several LUTS including sophisticated 3d luts. These negative profiles will
be similar wich "ring around" sub sets to correct for specific conditions
such as over exposure, underexposure, high or low contrast, over and under
saturation. The bottom line here is we are testing the concept to determine
if it is of value. May be  or may be not. I guess we will see.
David
P.S. we won't force anyone to use them :)
