I'm wondering what causes you to see Sinar's software as "broken"?

-- No way to profile the camera (impossible to get raw capture data); and
their concept of RGB working space vs. input space is confused, or downright
blurred. Another no-no that Andrew reported: exporting from Captureshop in a
given working space, tagged as such produces a different result than
exporting same file & working space, untagged, then assigning profile in
Photoshop.
Maybe "broken" isn't the right word, as the software was obviously never
designed to function with an open, ICC-profile-based approach to color
management. It's use of profiles seems more like "window dressing", while
the camera's color capabilities are managed (limited?) "under the hood",
concealed from the user.
