Snipped only for brevity, David -- that was a good post, 
all good ideas as far as I could tell, though some of them 
concern products I haven't worked with.  Some of your 
ideas require a level of integration (and/or standardization) 
that may take some time to accrue -- but they will, in 
time, I believe.

As an aside, I feel that NikonScan does a really impressive 
job with properly inverting negatives, without the need for 
"profiles," or for me (the user) needing to identify the film type. 
Dunno how it works, but it works da balls.

As to color manglement, I'm sure someday they'll get a 
handle on it <g>.  Y'all let me know when it happens, OK?

Add to your wish list:  a wide-gamut archival dye ink that 
works on all Epson printers and won't clog the heads.  
Maybe like Mobil gasoline, ya know --- cleans your printer 
as you print <g>.
