frustration with most scanner software's weird implementations of
color management and my disinclination to make critical decisions
based on a postage-stamp-sized preview. So, crappy capture software
is one good reason.
Hear, hear ...!
Capture parametrized highbit. Capture parametrized low bit. But
without proper ICC support in the capture software, the capture
process breaks down.
The concept of 'film types' has been used by film manufacturers who
also manufacture scanners. It's not based on ICC and it's not based
on proper soft-proofing and proof-printing functionality. It's a
closed systems approach that doesn't enhance the user's control of
color. Whether it works or doesn't work is in that sense beside the
point, because the user doesn't have a say as there is no UI / ICC
functionality to give the user a say in the first place.
But it usually doesn't work also...
