Yeah, a whiel ago I was also wondering people recommedning swithcing
off
Nikon CMS and lamenting about poor defualt Nikon's profiles. I was
never suffered from this with my LS-40. Scans come out in good colors,
contrast, I was nothing to complain about (I use NikonScan 3.1.2). I
never apply NikonScan image editing (aside of ICE of course and at a
times GEM if I'll have not time for NeatImage processing), all the rest
comes as TIFFs into PS7 and done there if necessary.
Once begining my scanning experience I set scanner's output format as
Adobe 98 RGB, do all the necessary editing in PS7, and save for an
archive as Adobe 98 RGB either. Only the files intended for web and
just a showcase is converted to a common sRGB and them JPEG compressed.
This is my approach.
