BTW I abandoned the Bruce Fraser method of calibration with Gretagmacbeth chart, after much sweat and hours of playing about. ( my task is to copy some fine art prints)
My previous method of using a white, black and mid-grey card and making adjustments in the raw dialog box and saving the settings did the job surprisingly well although the reds are a bit exaggerated.
I would be interested to know of anyone who has had success with the method previously brought to our attention: http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/21351-1.html. Sorry if this has already been concluded.

I have downloaded the latest plugins from both Adobe and Kodak. The file opens very slowly in CS but not with the Raw dialog box
If you installed the Kodak plug-in, it is over-riding the Adobe Camera Raw plug in. It does open more slowly and unless you've already edited the file in Kodak's PhotoDesk, it offers no options at all upon on opening the file. You'll get white balance, sharpening etc as set in the camera with no options to change. In certain workflows this plug-in can be convenient but its not the best way to open these files. Trash the Kodak plug-in and Adobe Camera Raw will open the files. Or better yet, download Kodak's PhotoDesk, do basic edits there and save out a TIFF or JPEG for further editing in Photoshop.
If you've got the 14n with the upgraded chip then that's the 14nx... virtually identical performance/features to the SLR/n... and considerably better than the original 14n.
