I find that somewhat more than interesting. If Nikonscan has no profiles, how does it 
know where the startpoint is? This isn't meant to be disrespectful--I'm truly curious. 
It might answer some perplexing questions I've had for some time, now. 

Photoshop also has no film profiles, and also does a good job of inverting a negative 
image. Is it White Point, Balance, or what?
