Default hybrid system the hard way? including film modeling

so why would you want to do it the hard way, mechanistically?

1) want to retain analog manipulation methods
2) want to have analog manipulation algorithms within digital
3) want to an analog capture of scene colorimetry
4) multi-stage analog/hybrid systems do not calibrate
(steady-state calibration is a prerequisite for profile characterization)
5) want to design new analog equipment or manipulation
6) want to design new sensitized media for a hybrid system
( a film program was around 5 million at Kodak 17 years ago)
7) want to design a better analog RIMM, ERIMM or ROMM

so how to do it the hard way?


Kodak has a lot of things they could license in the area, or at least
leverage the last days of film, probably not develop equipment, but
maybe software

1) a FORTRAN library of systems modeling
2) a VAX and a portable (POSIX?) software called PLUS to implement the
modeling in digital mathematic terms, and hybrid analog manipulation
3) scene quality (not accuracy) QsubA, leading to better scene balance
algorithms and "more attractive" images, implemented in consumer
scan/print clas35 printer
4) optimization of mathematics around ICC conversion resulting better
scenes, manipulation and storage
5) colorimetry patent from Eikonix
