Hmm, thanks for those insights, good food for thought. Is the difficulty in profiling due to intentional auto-correction within the camera of white point, maximum brightness, low light sensitivity, etc? I can see how you couldn't profile a radically self-adjusting device. If that's the case then you could get around it with a camera that didn't self-adjust, or by turning those features off, or a camera that generate it's own profile describing it's current behavior picture by picture as it changes white point, gain, whatever. So that problem might be solvable. If on the other hand the inability to pin down the behavior is due to some inherent instability of response of the image chip, then that might be trickier to solve. I don't know, which do you think it is, or is it something else?
(PS Sorry for the illegibility of these digests, all those extra lines preceding each post are pretty annoying I know. We're working on it.)
