Why?

[Yves Gauvreau <gauvreau-yves@cgocable.ca>]

Hi all,

I'm intrigue, I've been reading about color management for a while now and I
can't help myself asking why most method of creating digital negs suggest to
strech the scan of the 101 stepwedge print or equivalent from 0 to 255 while
every mapping algorithm I've seen so far basically say that the opposite is
the norm?

Have a nice day,
Yves
