No such thing that I know of. It is a technically difficult problem. Each film (Manufacturer, sub-type and ISO) has a different orange mask and somewhat different characteristic curve. There is no one-size-fits-all for conversion to positive. Siilverfast with Negafix is the best I've ever come up with for scanning negatives.

Hi All,
I am scanning SF negatives with a digital camera (...) and I am looking for a profile that would allow soft proofing the positive values of a color negative while working on it. Is there such thing?
Or perhaps: would you know of a plugin filter for Photoshop that allows shifting the RGB channels to remove the color mask of negatives while inverting the image? I have tried SilverFast Negafix, but since the film profiles and automated process does not work for me on imported images and has to be done manually anyway (could be better with direct scans), I am looking for something straightforward and basic that would do just that in Photoshop, ideally with the possibility of saving presets. It seems that the level tool of Photoshop isn't particularly good for that or maybe I need more understanding. Any suggestion welcome!
