your arguments are right.
I disagree that your profiling lighting "conditions" if what you're saying
is that any movement or re-positioning of the lights requires re-profiling.
This makes no sense to me anymore than I need to change film every time I
move my lights around.
As Mr. Snape stated, I have to believe that profiling a digicam is simply
characterizing the combination of the CCD, light path, light temperature and
capture software settings, nothing more. As long as one sticks to the
tried-and-true photographic concepts of 1) proper exposure and 2) lighting
ratios that are in the proper range of the "film"/CCD, then it should work.
