How is this different from a digital camera? E.G., film is said to have a
color gamut, but it is also said to have a response range (e.g., negatives
vs chromes). How do you separate these 2 terms in the context of RGB
dvices, dcams & scanners??? I believe I catch your crux, but if a scanner
is profiled with respect to its range and ability to capture color, doesn't
the range become a gamut in the context of device profiles??
