Nicola,

Sorry I didn't reply earlier.  This message thread got hidden further up the
message list on my email program and was off the screen.  I just
"discovered" it.

I'm sure your request could be done by someone who has an enormous amount of
time and patience, but that is not me!!  Every film would have to be scanned
and tinkered with in Photoshop to find the data you need.  BUT, then the
data would probably be totally useless to someelse using a different
scanner, different photo lab, film stored and purchased in another part of
the world, etc....  Its an interesting concept, pre-calculated color
corrections, but I think there would be too many variables that would make
one person's data invalid for anyone else unless they used the same lab,
scanner, etc. at the same time.
