While I tend to like the colors I get from my Coolscan 4000 and Provia (with a bit of Velvia thrown in), I've thought for a long time about IT8 targets. Rather than order one for each type of film, wouldn't making one (by taking a picture of an IT8 target on each type of film) give me what I need? More significantly, wouldn't using this IT8 target slide profile out the characteristics of each film? (I.e., the colors will be more accurate, but the characteristics of the film will be "compensated for" and lost? I like how different films look different when projected and want to keep as much of that as possible when scanning.)
