Digital BW, The Print

I also use the xrite colorchecker passport . . .  But yeah. I'm exited about ACR 6/LR noise reduction as well vis a vis film. If I can pull from a raw scan and work on noise etc all in ACR, this may very well up the anti in archival film scanning not just dslr pics.  Then this can be opened in Photoshop as a smart object (adding full layer adjustments etc). In otherwords, it's almost possible to never actually manipulate a pixel on the base scan of a straight photo besides basic dust-busting.

Then building the camera icc for that film to get the color-transitions correct with correct WP, etc.  I hope it works because this would mean that I can do really great raw scans for c-neg.  I hate doing the transitions in scanner software.
