Hi, I've just bought an EPSON 4870 scanner and am generally pleased with the results. However, when I compare the scanned images of my studio shots with the contact sheets that I get from the lab, almost invariably there is a colour distortion (normally either an over emphasis on yellow or too high a colour saturation) on the scanned images. The same is not so with photos taken in natural light, where a true reproduction is obtained initially.

I know there is tone correction and image adjustment possible in the scanner program, but I would like to know if the cause is likely to be that I have configured the system incorrectly, or should I always expect an "untrue" scanned image initially, with studio work? Are there any "blanket" corrections I should make to improve the initial scans?

Thanks in advance for any help. Richard.
