[filmscanners] Colour management on Negatives

["Eddie Cairns" <glenside@ecosse.net>]

A friend has a 7 x 5 print of a negative and a further enlargement print
from the negative at 10 x 7. It is from Fuji Superia 200 negative film. Both
from the same major Kodak lab in Glasgow, Scotland.

The smaller picture has a blue cast to it but a coax lead coming down the
wall on both pictures looks black and the plants in front of the house are
both a mixture of greens and yellows.

I scaned the said negative on a Minolta 5400 with no ICE on.

The plants are all green ( virtually no yellow)and the coax cable coming
down the wall has a distinct purple tinge to it.

Therefore how do I get the correct colour scanning negative film ot is it
very much hit and miss.

I believe it is only possible to get an IT 8.7/1 transparency test image to
calibrate a film scanner and that there is no readily avaialble 35mm
standard negative test image that can be used to calibrate a film scanner.
