Hello Bruce

Adobe Raw does all its major processing, including the all important sharpening in linear. It produces from a linear file a image that should need no further tweaking. It SIMULATES a inverse gamma on screen(so we can see the image)and on exit to main Photoshop applies the relevant inverse gamma and ICC profile to the image, which can now be printed or published on the web, with appropiate transforms applied.

There is no reason why one should not do the same for scanning.
Actually most people including yourself do excactly that.
They bypass the scanner software and scan linear into Photoshop.
Maybe there will be a Adobe Raw for scanning.

This workflow is exactly the one that Mr Autiokari has been advocating for all these years.

Since you are are a great fan of Adobe Raw, I assume that you are also are very happy with working in linear.
Are you having problems with your shadows and blue skies?

If so stop using Adobe Raw.

As I say ALL of Photoshop workflow will be LINEAR in a few years.
