has anyone here ever created a custom profile for Nikon Coolscan

[Sam Carleton]

The subject says it all, has anyone here ever crated a custom
profile for a Nikon Coolscan 5000? If you I could really use your
help, here is my post of the other day:

It seems that the ball was dropped. Either there is a lack of
information or I missed something. I have the Nikon Coolscan
5000. Today I got "Profile Mechanic Scanner 1.0" from Digital
Light & Color (DLC) and the IT8 calibration kit.

I followed the directions from DLC, when into the Nikon Coolscan's
preferences and turned off the "Use Nikon Color Management
System", scanned in the IT8 slide and saved the profile to my hard
drive.

The question is, now what? I tried selecting the created profile
in the Color Management of preferences, but it says it isn't a
monitor profile, which of course it isn't. I looked in Photoshop
CS and cannot find any way of setting the source profile. What do
I do with this profile I created?

You tried to set the profile for viewing of the thumbnail or image.

Jim,

Ok, so you know what I need to do to set the profile to the
scanner correctly?
