this is exactly how I plan to make a negative film target. whether it turns
out to be of any use is another story, but we only use one kind of film, do
all the processing and printing, and have complete control over everything,
so this seems like a reasonable thing to do given what I've read here in the
past about trying to make a profile for negative film.
it's equally reasonable that this is a very stupid idea. never know til I
try.
