Any decent transparency profile will do.They're close enough to each other
that it doesn't really matter. It's best if you can roll your own, of
course.
If the driver does the inversion, just pretend to the scanner that you're
scanning a transparency, it should have no reason to invert then. Forget
entirely that you're scanning a negative; you're scanning a positive. What
goes on after that is a secret between you and Photoshop; the scanner
doesn't need to know that.

Inquiring minds insist on knowing trivial details like these.
