It appears applying a high gamma as I did comes close to what happens if the white point has been set properly. .


Could be - looking forward to what you find.

And yes, the black point should be remapped to neutral black by removing the mask if done from unexposed film.

I have played a bit with the gamma and the transformation a linear curve can get by applying gamma.

The formulas:

Gamma (Yellow):  y= x^Gamma

Red linear:    y= 0.8x+0.10
Green linear:  y= 0.8x+0.20
Blue linear:   y= 0.8x+0.25

Red corrected curve:   y=0.10-(0.8x+0.10)^Gamma
Green corrected curve: y=0.20-(0.8x+0.20)^Gamma
Blue corrected curve:  y=0.25-(0.8x+0.25)^Gamma

I have not yet an  idea what it means, nor am I sure if have applied correct x and y values, but if I'm not mistaken values from gamma acrobatics are normalized to values between 0 and 1.
This is as a help for thinking what might have happened above.
No idea if it has any declarative value.
I also am not sure if I did the subtraction correctly.

Ideas about the formulas?
