Steve, I don't want to embark you on a scanner discussion. 
Yes the scanner has a custom profile that needs to be assigned, the 
thing is 1) the scanner needs to be provided with a gamma for raw 
scanning, 2) when converting to working space the profile-assigned 
file, I get not too close colors and the file opens in PS with a 
AdobeRVB tag. I can't figure out whether this is what the scanner has 
actually registered (it's different from the slide but it's hardware 
limitations) or whether I'm wrong acting at the gamma level and 
should live 2.2 (e.g. display and working space value). And 
corrections in PS on a Tif file are not satisfactory. The thing is 
gamma should have no effect in terms of color shift to my 
understanding : this is where I'm unsure. But again this is not a BW 
topic at all and doesn't call for a reply. It's just to justify my 
question.
