<p>
I think this is a more difficult task than it first seems. Ideally, <br>
you'd have to figure out a good "test target" to take a picture of, then <br>
balance each color intensity to that of the target given the same <br>
exposure conditions for each film. While you don't have to be spot on, <br>
given the range of films, formats, and scanners, it would be less than <br>
trivial. However, the idea has a good deal of merit, and I'd think that <br>
saving and restoring intensity values by name would be an interesting <br>
start, then someone would only need to maintain a master file of common <br>
names and values for the "Restore settings" menu selection. <br>
<p>
Also, I'm not sure if the image qualities need to be changed to print versus <br>
display, and as we see more people making prints at home from inkjets, that's <br>
going to become more important than ever. <br>

<i>&gt; realisation. Could someone comment this proposal whether it is realistic </i><br>
<i>&gt; or not?</i><br>
<p>
Well, I'm not a developer on this project either, but I think having a <br>
"save/restore by name" configuration parameter set would be a great <br>
addition. If the database were done per scan device, with the option to <br>
add a generic device for all scan platforms, I think it would be very <br>
useful for both slide and negative scanning. <br>
