Although I wholeheartedly agree with you....dealing with orangy negatives (mot. pic film, I think it's 5247) can easily reduce my life by 10 yrs....well, I'm quite convinced of this...even if it's an exaggeration. I should add, that I don't even have a decent scanner....and the theory alone makes one sleepless in Seattle. The "new"/old Epson (800 series) don't appear to be stepping up to the plate either. OK, end of my 'itchin.

Colors look good there. That one would be easy to manually adjust since there are large white areas to get the color balance right. Check my description in the MF Color thread for another way of scanning. It's loosely based on autowhite balance algorithms, without the math.
