Before you rescan, try the curve tool. The "white clip" in NS on negatives
is easily correctible with the curve tool. I find VS slide media setting
clips shadows. Image media doesn't clip but gives awful color on
Kodachrome. NS Kodachrome color is also off so I have to use curve tool to
color balance.
