I just looked it over, but it seems quite useful. I shall read it entirely very soon. I saved the link. Thank you!!

Been there, done that, read the ICC profile specification, had visions of Look Up Tables and Tone Reproduction Curves dancing through my head for months.

Crap ....seems I take my handy-dandy digital camera for granted. I'd like to try my hand/eye at traditional film photography yet I can't afford it. Expensive hobby/profession/artform.
What I get with my (and Mom's telephoto-equiped "gun") camera is okay-ish. Hit and miss. But if I made it a business to sell the shots as prints, I'd starve.

(as in "don't quit your day job" )
