The first thing I noticed is my scanned print is sharper than my size enlarged Ciba print, poor enlarging technique on my part though I've always liked this particular print.
The scanned print is also cooler (bluer) than the Ciba print. This is not much of a surprise when scanning color negatives. I take it that your practice would be to color correct at the scanning stage?
