It's not so much what is right or wrong but what is predictable and
repeatable. When I use Velvia (for a landscape) I know what to expect (and
others will even be able to guess it's Velvia) but when I use a negative
film without a scanner profile (or a calibrated system) I have to decide
what adjustments to make. And personally I can't - I always end up with a
print that my wife says 'doesn't look right'.
I'm hoping to evolve to a (digital?) camera through to print process that
will add or subtract nothing - the audio purists call their perfect
amplifier 'a straight wire with gain' - and my Holy Grail is the
photographic equivalent!
