Hi, thanks for your reply; I never heard about that; is it an ICC
kind of profile? Where can I get a copy and more info? Is it as
good or better as Adobe RGB and Apple RGB and Ekta
profiles?
Thanks; Andrea
I have found that if you need archival long term storage you >should use
Kodaks prophoto(rgbmaster) profile. I have been >doing in depth testing
with over a terabyte of scanned images(I >work for a youth sports business)
with great sucess. I have >found that the profile is device independent.

Andrea,
Here is a link that you have requested:
http://www.kodak.com/cluster/global/en/service/software/colorflow/rgbMasterProfile.shtml
The profile is an ICC Based profile. Granted how you use and view this
profile is another issue. First, embed this profile into your image, yes,
embed it. When you want to print the file, convert it to the output device
profile you may have currently have. I have found this profile to be as
good as or better then Adobe RGB, Apple RGB , & Colormatch for long term (1
year) archival storage...but I have not heard of an Ekta profile before.
