I seem to have missed my point in the below part of my last transmission.
Where I meant to go is that just as one may "neutralize" the
characteristics of any given film/device with profiles, One should also
be able to use them to create the look of any particular capture medium
from any other.
I haven't tried it, as it doesn't fit my interests, but the ability is
inherent in the mechanism. What software is required, I also don't know,
although I ran across some a while ago.
