Hi Bill, Thanks for responding to my enquiry. However, I am afraid it is the sordid details that I am lacking.
I have not been scanning Kodachrome, although at some point I will want to do that, as I have many, if you include the Agfachrome, which may fall into the same class (?). For my negative scanning, I am still lost. I have not been able to find any combination that will print even close to the correct color. There are many permutations of embedded profile x color space x working space and other settings. Even though there seems to be a disconnect between Nikon and Colorsync, it seems that the problem must be with the printer profile, because the image looks right on screen (best with Nikon CMM OFF) until I do the print/preview. Then the magenta always blows up. And the print looks just like the preview: crap. But I have selected the Epson 2200 profile for the specific paper. The Epson 2200 profile for Enhanced Matte is recognized by Colorsync. Why is this so hard? I don't want a degree in computer science or desktop publishing...I just want to print my goddamn photos.
