OK, I am half a step from scanner nirvana. I have done scanner profiles
and now my scan looks just like what's on the slides as far as we can
tell. The only quibbles are that

a) NikonScan 3.12 does not embed the right profile name on the JPG
output. I suppose it would have been better if it just tags with NO
profile, but when opening the JPG under Photoshop, apparently it is
tagged with sRGB. I told it to ignore it of course.

b) Under Photoshop, then I have to assign the correct film profile, and
then convert the profile to the working space (Adobe RGB), a two step
process.

While some of the actions can be automated, does anyone know a small
quick program that do can profile assignment and then conversion so I
can preprocess scans before bringing them into Photoshop?

By the way, trying to use the same workflow of generating profile and
using it under Vuescan (which can generate/convert and correctly tag the
output with Adobe RGB) does not give as accurate result as NikonScan. It
is probably just me, but just in case in anyone suggests that I should
just use VS.

Thanks.
