Hi Jeremy, Unfortunately, one cannot produce an ICC profile for colour negative. That's not to say that it cannot be colour managed, it can. A 'null' input profile can be used and then a set of curves/settings applied at the capture stage to define, in the operators opinion, the characteristics of a given stock. Some have success using working spaces as an input, negating the need for a conversion. Negatives are essentially a blank canvas, unlike transparencies, and it's almost a case of 'whatever works best for you'. I say almost, because it is preferable to strive for even tonal distribution and the avoidance of clipping data...
