Hey, we're all new to something or other all the time.
For general settings try the illustrated color cookbook on the ColorSync
home page. Try Adobe RGB (1998) as working space as Adobe applications now
default to this RGB gamut. In Northern Europe and Central Europe, use
eciRGB10. As content creator you are best off sticking to published
standards and statistical norms because there are so many local variations
and excentricities which it doesn't make sense to debate with customers and
project co-workers -:).
For specific settings try the following, after have you upgraded to an Apple
monitor as the iBook monitor won't do the trick:
Nikon D1: Import captures into Pshop 6 or later and assign sRGB or Adobe RGB
(1998), then make the image look good.
LS40: While I sort of doubt it makes sense to profile the Nikon D1 with the
GretagMacbeth ColorChecker DC and your choice of camera profiling software,
I'd be more optimistic about the LS40. You need one profile for each IT8
target (Fuji reflective, Fuji trans, Kodak reflective, Kodak trans etc). You
aren't saying what software will drive the scanner, hopefully an ICC-savvy
tool like SilverFast which is a LinoColor clone.
Unless you have a profile for a specific process backed by the project print
provider, use a standards-based CMYK profile for proofing and for print
production. Adobe bundles standards-based ISO profiles, as does BEST. There
is a set of SWOP TR001 profiles on www.profilecentral.com. There should be a
hirez set from GretagMacbeth too somewhere, I'll have to check.
The good thing about ICC color management is that each of us is meant to
create device profiles for the device setups we have in the studio or print
shop. The bad thing about ICC color management is that it is ENORMOUSLY
complicated to do this with so much gear around, each device and device
software with it's own excentricities.
