Hello David.
Interesting you would ask at this point. The answer is no. Remind me what it is.

I am not a color geek but I am a commercial photographer who's clients expect a certain level of color accuracy. This includes manufacturers, ad agencies, as well as various museums/artists/galleries. They want to know that when I hand them a file it will reproduce (printing, web, etc.) properly. It seems to me that one should "start' with an accurate color representation of whatever they are photographing and then go from there. When I began photography the first thing my instructors had us do was learn the zone system, proper file development, proper printing techniques, etc. After these skills were mastered we could then "break" the rules and make art. We had to crawl before we could walk. Beginning ceramic artists/potters who want to make pots like Byron Temple still learn the basics first - throwing cylinder after cylinder.

I understand that this is a subjective statement but I have had this discussion with many photographers who use Nikon gear and all are in agreement. The downside is that NC2 is so clunky that it is virtually useless in a commercial workflow. So ACR it is, but there is something going on under the hood(s) that I have been unable to resolve. Digital photography has come a long way and I look forward to what's to come. Great discussion!

The last two weeks, I have been implementing rpp 64 into my workflow.
Out of rpp 64 the tiff is opened in PS CS5, and from there to printer, Epson pro 9900
What I have been finding, is, with "color" as the film choice, the the image file on the display is dim, or dark, and flat. I go to K64, and the image on the display nearly looks
like the original art.
I have found working the image with various controls (knobs, or sliders, or whatever they are called) in rpp 64, and can attempt to get the display image to
appear like the original. That's with "color" as the film choice. Or, manipulate the tiff of "color" in PS CS5.
I will never expect the replication of the original art to look, on the display, or print exactly, as it appear to my eyes! That's a promise I make to my
clients, 100%, the representation will not look exactly as the original! I am not using the spectrophotometer.
I don't understand everything I read on this list. Some is useful for me. I am not a digital guru, nor a gear head. I know the rest of you understand.
I am pleased to be in the 'rabbit hole'. Just delighted.
Capture device, lens, sensor, lights, printer, PA271w, are all custom profiled. I do not use canned profiles.
My decision to implement rpp 64 into my workflow is based on the information I have read on 'list' and other essays.
I thank Iliah Borg and Andrey Tverdokh for the introduction and help.
Now, for me, continue to learn and speed up the rpp 64 process in my workflow.
