Richard,
Glad to know there is hope. Remember that the perfect can be the enemy of the good. In my case, my problems are more those of threshold concepts than the workflows that follow. While various people have of course offered very helpful explanations, I am not aware of a single place that provides a clear explanation of what each of the input fields for creating an ink profile does, and in what order they should be refined. Paul Roark's posts may come closest, but don't get me quite there. As for digital negatives, I don't think they present any unique conceptual issues. The problem is that testing a profile by making an actual PtPd print, is time-consuming and offers a number of other places where things can go wrong (chemicals, humidity, coating, processing, the state of the moon, etc.). Keep up the good work.
