Kodak used to recommend profiling negatives using the same technique
and software that you'd use to profile a digital camera. Shoot a
target with the neg stock in question and treat the raw scan similar to
the way you'd treat the raw file from digital capture for profiling.
In my limited attempts at doing this years ago I didn't have much
success; but then I'm not a huge fan of input profiles anyway. There
are much better camera targets and profiling packages out there now
that might yield more promising results. The main issue I see that
limits potential success is that neg stock's characteristics can change
pretty dramatically with even very minor changes in exposure or
processing. Even if you're lucky enough to have perfectly consistent
processing, a tiny bit of over/under exposure and the profile you made
of a spot on exposure can be pretty far off from optimum.

Dear Thomas,
Wow. Would love to hear if it works...
